Cataloging and subject indexing the Bialik Collection

2017年，汉诺威音乐、戏剧和媒体大学（HMTMH）图书馆获得了大量与音乐相关的俄语媒体私人收藏。根据它的前主人，音乐学家Michail Bialik教授的说法，它被称为“Bialik收藏”。虽然收藏的某些部分可以追溯到两次世界大战之间的时期，甚至沙皇时代，但它主要包括苏联和后苏联的印刷品（书籍，期刊，乐谱）和1945年以后出版的录音，以及少量来自其他国家的物品。这样的收藏在德国的专业图书馆中是独一无二的。在国家层面上，它可能只有柏林和慕尼黑国家图书馆的资源超过它，在那里，俄罗斯音乐文献作为特殊收藏的一部分被大量收购。比亚利克收藏的一个优秀特点是任何德国图书馆都无法与之匹敌的是大量印刷的1910年至2015年俄罗斯和苏联音乐会和歌剧演出的节目单。这些珍贵的作品大多来自莫斯科和列宁格勒音乐生活的中央机构，但也有许多作品超出了这一范围，例如来自首都和其他苏联城市较小机构的节目笔记。定期举办的音乐节，如列宁格勒音乐之春，以及由苏联作曲家联盟组织的个人音乐会都有详细的记录。为了在2021年之前在HMTMH图书馆内完全开放，所有资源都必须正式编目并考虑其内容。在这一过程完成后，将有可能通过图书馆的OPAC订购所有收藏品。书籍、乐谱和期刊的书目描述在免费访问的联盟目录K10 plus中完成。节目说明收藏中的项目的书目描述将在互联网平台musiconn. performance上发布。这是一个由萨克森州立图书馆（SLUB）和专业信息服务音乐学（FID Musikwissenschaft）共同开发的免费使用的联盟目录;预计将于2019年8月推出。在HMTMH及其图书馆内，Bialik收藏为研究俄罗斯和苏联音乐史创造了良好的条件。在不久的将来，它可能有助于将国际研究人员聚集在一起，举办年度暑期学校或类似形式。在这样一个框架内，收藏的资源将形成一个额外的吸引力，专门在该领域的音乐学家：对他们来说，暑期学校将不仅提供空间，听取和讨论对方的论文，但除此之外，还提供了充分的可能性，源阅读和稀有材料的研究，如上述方案说明收集。为了实现这一想法，我们希望尽快完成对馆藏的编目工作。

In 2017 the library of Hanover University of Music, Drama and Media (HMTMH) was able to acquire a large private collection of mostly Russian-language media related to music. With reference to its former proprietor, the musicologist Prof. Michail Bialik, it is called the ‚Bialik Collection‘. While some parts of the collection date back to the interwar period and even to czarist times, it mainly comprises Soviet and post-Soviet prints (books, journals, sheet music) and recordings published after 1945, as well as a minor number of items from other countries. Such a collection is unique among German special libraries. On the national level it is probably only surpassed by the resources of the Berlin and Munich State Libraries, where Russian Literature on Music has been acquired in abundance as part of special collections.A fine feature of the Bialik Collection not rivalled by any German Library is a voluminous convolute of printed programme notes pertaining to Russian and Soviet concerts and opera performances from 1910 to 2015. Most of these rare items come from the central institutions in Moscow‘s and Leningrad’s musical life, but there are many items that go beyond that scope, such as programme notes from smaller institutions of the capitals and other soviet cities. Periodic music festivals such as the Leningrad Musical Spring are well documented, as are individual concerts organised by the Soviet Union of Composers.To be made fully accessible within the Library of the HMTMH by 2021, all resources must be catalogued formally and with regard to their contents. After that process is finished, it will be possible to place orders for all the collection’s items via the library’s OPAC. The bibliographic description of books, sheet music and periodicals is done within the freely accessible union catalogue K10plus. Bibliographic descriptions of the items in the programme note collection will be published on the internet platform musiconn.performance. This is a cooperatively used, freely accessible Union catalogue currently being developed by the State Library of Saxony (SLUB) and the Specialised Information Service Musicology (FID Musikwissenschaft); its launch is expected for August, 2019.Within the HMTMH and its library, the Bialik collection creates excellent conditions for research on Russian and Soviet music history. In the near future it may serve to bring international researchers together in an annual summer school or a similar format. Within such a framework, the collection’s resources will form an additional point of attraction for musicologists specialising in that field: For them, the summer school will not only provide the space for listening to and discussing each other’s papers, but in addition give ample possibility for source reading and the study of rare materials like the aforementioned programme note collection. To realize this idea, we hope to finish the process of cataloging the collection as soon as possible.
