College and Research Libraries


A Basic Collection of 
Records for a College Library 

BY DAVID O. LANE 

TH E C O L L E G E library is no longer just a repository and dispenser of books. 
T h e book is still supreme in all libraries, 
and rightly so; but in our time educa-
tional, cultural, and recreational matter 
is available in other formats also—repro-
ductions of paintings, films, filmstrips, 
other audio-visual materials, and, per-
haps most important of all, phonograph 
records. 

T h e art of recording is still relatively 
new. T h e first commercial records date 
only from the decade before 1900. T h e 
flat disc as we know it today appeared 
about the turn of the century. Electrical 
recording began in 1926, and contempo-
rary L P records date from 1949. 

Some libraries started collecting rec-
ords in the 1920's and 1930's, but the 
limitations of the 78 rpm disc were many. 
T h e y are heavy, bulky, expensive, and 
easily breakable. Most college libraries 
began collecting records only after the 
perfection of the nonbreakable, long-
playing record hardly a decade ago. 

Our records today have several great 
advantages (as well as one disadvantage) 
over their predecessors. T h e L P record 
is comparatively cheap, hard to destroy 
(though all too easy to damage by scratch-
ing), l i g h t in weight, and c o m p a c t . 
Perhaps most important of all in the en-
couragement of wider collecting of rec-
ords is that the range of musical litera-
ture available today is phenomenal. As 
late as the 1930's Vivaldi and other 
masters of the Baroque and pre-Baroque 
were all but unknown and recordings of 
contemporary, especially avant-garde, mu-
sic were rare. Great progress has been 
made toward making the whole range of 
music available to current listeners. 

Mr. Lane has been Head of the Docu-
ments Department, Northern Illinois Uni-
versity Library in DeKalb. On July 1, he 
became Head of Reader Services, Brooklyn 
Polytechnic Institute Library, Brooklyn, New 
York. 

T h e college library's record collection 
has two main functions—as a teaching 
aid and for recreational purposes. W i t h 
respect to its teaching uses, the collection 
should represent as wide a scope as pos-
sible; chronologically, all periods of com-
position and musical development should 
be represented. Within a given period, 
the major comjDosers in all important 
forms should be present. Stylistically, the 
major musical forms (symphonies, con-
certi, operas, oratorios, art songs, solo, 
instrumental and chamber music, etc.) 
must be available. As a source of recrea-
tion and individual interest, the basic 
concert repertory should be present (all 
t h e symphonies of B e e t h o v e n and 
Brahms, the last three of Tchaikovsky, 
the more popular operas of Verdi, Puc-
cini, etc.). In addition, certain so-called 
"light" works (by Offenbach, Tchaikov-
sky, Ravel, etc.) should be available. An 
effort to satisfy these basic aspects of the 
record collection, sometimes supplemen-
tary, sometimes competitive, has resulted 
in this suggested basic collection. 

T h e number of records in this hypo-
thetical collection, three hundred, is arbi-
trary. T h e total might be two hundred 
and fifty, or four hundred, or five hun-
dred. T h r e e hundred was chosen as allow-
ing the inclusion of most of the impor-
tant titles and at the same time providing 
a collection that could be purchased for 

J U L Y 1 9 6 2 295 



less than $1,000. T h e music represented 
on these discs is limited to so-called "clas-
sical" or "concert" music. T h e r e is a 
place in the college library for recordings 
of operettas, Broadway musicals, folk mu-
sic, and the spoken word, but that is 
consideration for another time. 

T h e r e are many compositions that 
might have been included in this list, but 
six hundred 12-inch L P sides can be 
stretched to include only so much. A 
final factor influencing the makeup of 
this collection is coupling—the way works 
are paired on the records. In a few cases 
composers are represented that certainly 
are not basic (i.e., Vieuxtemps). T h e y are 
listed because they happen to be repre-
sented on the flip side of something more 
important (in the example cited above, 
Lalo's "Symphonie Espagnole"). So in a 
sense, they are bonuses. 

No compositions are presented in du-
plicate performances. Because of the way 
works are coupled on records, this has 
been a factor in the selection of perform-
ances. In the effort to avoid duplication 
and present the best possible range of 
repertory, it has sometimes been neces-
sary to select an interpretation that is not 
necessarily the best available; selection is 
a subjective matter at best. An example 
is the Prokofiev "Concerto Number T h r e e 
for P i a n o ; " the London recording cited 
is a good performance and is coupled 
with Bartok's important "Concerto Num-
ber T h r e e for Piano," while the Capitol 
release, which may be reasonably pre-
ferred, is backed by another Ravel con-
certo. 

A college record collection is meant to 
be used until worn out; it is not an 
archive. Therefore, wherever possible, 
performances have been indicated on the 
so-called "cheap" labels. T h e r e is a great 
variation in the quality of these less-than-
full-price records. Richmonds are made 
by London Records and are for the most 
part reissues of their famous F F R R re-
cordings of the '50's, now superseded by 
newer but not necessarily better stereo 

versions. Telefunken (also owned by Lon-
don) is a major label in Germany, but in 
this country and Great Britain its discs 
have been issued at a cheaper price as the 
artists, mostly German, are not well 
known off the continent. As these cheaper 
records sell for about $2.00 as opposed 
to $5.00 for most full-price discs the sav-
ing is considerable and the quality is 
every bit as good as that of the more ex-
pensive labels. Fifty-five of the three hun-
dred discs listed are $1.98 records. 

All the records listed were available as 
of April 1962. Minor labels that might 
be hard to obtain, or might soon go out 
of print have been avoided. For example, 
Westminster Records, one of the larger 
independent companies, has recently gone 
through another reorganization. As a re-
sult their catalog is in a state of flux, and 
only two of their discs are listed. 

T h e total list price of this collection 
is $1,352.16. It would be available at dis-
counts of about 30 per cent, or for 
$950.00. 

T h e list is arranged as simply as possi-
ble—alphabetically by composer and 
then by title, with notation of the record 
make and number. If more than one 
composer is represented on the record an 
entry is made under each, and the other 
composers are given in parentheses after 
the title. T h i s rule holds true even for 
short compositions used to fill up a side. 
T h e only exception is in the case of re-
cordings of songs (by Schubert, Sibelius, 
Wolf, etc.); for these, rather than listing 
each title, the composer's name is fol-
lowed by "Lieder," "Chansons," or 
"Songs." T o do otherwise would compli-
cate and lengthen an involved list. For 
those who wish to know which songs are 
included on these discs, the full citation

ing Record Catalog f o r t h e m o n t h i n 
which the record in question was first is-
sued. T h i s date is given after the brief 
entry in each subsequent catalog. All the 
performances indicated are, at the least, 
very good.
