The aim of this survey report is to present information covering the areas of collection development, bibliographic control and access covering music library materials in Australia.
Information in this report is based on responses to the Music Survey distributed by the National Library in August 1994 to libraries with known music collections. This survey complements the Status Report on Collections Strengths in Music being prepared by the DNC Office for publication in July 1995. This report will be based on assessment data from the Australian Conspectus Database, and collection development policies held in the National Library.

2.3 Information on the following areas was requested from those libraries participating in the survey:
Results from the survey are presented in tabular form with the exception of Questions 7 and 14, where the replies have been presented as a list.
The results have been arranged under headings which reflect the concept of the Distributed National Collection:
Replies to Questions 1 and 4 which refer to libraries without music collections have been omitted from this report.
Replies to Questions 7 and 14, which do not fall into a DNC category, have been presented at the end of the report.
Replies have been entered in the form supplied by respondents to the questionnaire. This has led to some inconsistency in the way libraries have presented similary information.
Appendix I contains contact information for all libraries who submitted information for inclusion in the report.
