At times, the librarian's side of purchasing music seems like extra paperwork. Sheet music purchasing is already more complicated than book purchasing. However, from discussions with music faculty colleagues, the principle of purchasing the music of living composers is valuable and supported in the service of the students' experience. It is important that library patrons have access to the work of music professionals in the music field today. It is equally vital that students see the work of composers who reflect their own identities. Additionally, maintaining reliable and accessible digital scores is a key part of supporting these goals. Ultimately, they actively uphold these principles through their collection management work and detailed purchasing strategies.
