We have a special collection of Chopin Early Editions that have been digitized and records in our catalog link in.  Try

http://lens.lib.uchicago.edu/

Search   chopin early editions

Then page down and you will see records for the individual scores and the records have links to the Greenstone digital library version of the files.

Subject: [NGC4LIB] looking for digitized scores linked to a main library catalog

Hi,

Can anyone point me to a catalog for this?

I want a digitized piece of music, accessible through a main library catalog through a link.

I'm trying to find a library catalog that has this.  It could be housed in a separate silo database, but I'm looking for the digitized items that are linked directly to the main catalog.

Something where I could easily enter the main library catalog, search for a piece of music, click on the record, click the link, and be at or nearly at the digitized item.

If the item is only accessible through a separate database, that's not what I'm looking for.  If it's both catalog or database, great, but I'm just looking for the catalogs with links to digitized print music items.

Thanks,
RM
