All recordings should be kept in their albums or jackets. Because
jackets have a way of getting lost or torn, there should be a stock of
unused jackets on hand. Each jacket should be labelled according to its
contents. In addition a cross-index catalogue file should be maintained
by the music aide for all records in the hospital collection. Three
cards should be filled out for each face of each record: one card for
composer, one for title, and one for performer. This seems like a lot
of work but is worth the effort because it is only in this manner that
a program can be rapidly assembled from the record library. Any filing
system will suffice, but if the collection is large, an elaborate
system will be found worth the effort. Cards of three different colors
may be used to separate classical, popular and miscellaneous. Tabs may
be placed on those cards which list music for occasions. Tabs in one
corner may refer to meal-time music and tabs in another holiday music,
etc.
It is well to have the entire record collection in one room, and
shelves for holding records should be built of very heavy lumber
because recordings when closely packed are very heavy. It is best
to add records to shelves with continuous accession numbers in each
category and to rely on the file for alphabetic listing. If there
are duplicates, they can form the nucleus for a second or lending
library. Broken, cracked, or defective discs should be placed in a
separate section of the shelves for replacement when budget permits and
popularity demands.
