"ABSTRAKDespite adequate documentation of monograph arrearages in academic libraries, backlogs of music materials for the entire library community have gone unreported. In confirming the existence of music backlogs, it also becomes necessary to address questions concerning how the grew, what causes these backlogs to continue, and what it might take to eliminate them. In a survey of institutional subscribers to the Music Cataloging Bulletin, libraries were asked to quantify their uncataloged scores and sound recordings and to describe their music cataloging staff and procedures. Of the 358 participating libraries, 77% reported having music backlogs. These backlogs grew primarily as a result of large acquisitions and gifts without corresponding staffing staff to process them. Respondents also cited lack of knowledgeable staff as a deterrent to the reduction and elimination of the backlog."

"Trained library support staff is critical in assisting the user in locating and interpreting the resources available in libraries. To do so requires the knowledge and practice of library missions and roles in different types of libraries and the delivery of that information to an increasingly diverse clientele. The plethora of resources available today requires that support staff understand and implement the basic principles of information services as well as the responsibility and relationships among library departments and functional areas. Foundations of Library Services is both a text for professors who teach in library support staff programs and an introductory reference manual for support staff who work in libraries."
