From: Lauren Arieux <laurenarieux_at_gmail.com>

Hi all!

I have been recently charged with a project to build my library's 
music collection (on CD), and I'm trying to find examples of other 
libraries' collections to use as a guide. I was told to focus on 
classical, jazz, world, and Alabama musicians, but also to throw in 
some "classic rock and country." Basically the staples... Anyway, I 
was wondering if any of you had a good source I could browse to get 
some ideas, or if you knew of a library with a particularly great 
music collection. Luckily, budgeting doesn't pose a problem. This is 
for a mid-sized public library in Birmingham, Alabama.

I would appreciate any insight!

Thanks,

Lauren Arieux
