Alexander Street launches new blog - "Music Media Monthly"

Alexander Street has announced the launch of a new music blog, Music Media Monthly, 'a guide to the best recent (and sometimes not-so-recent) sound recordings, music-related books, videos, and Web sites.' The blog is designed to be a resource for music and media librarians, music students and teaching faculty, and music lovers. Sponsored by Music Online publisher Alexander Street and updated monthly, the blog is independently edited by Rick Anderson who is Associate Director for Scholarly Resources and Collections at the University of Utah's Marriott Library; founder and editor of CD HotList: New Releases for Libraries; and the former editor of the 'Sound Recording Reviews' column for Notes, the quarterly journal of the Music Library Association. Anderson will write Music Media Monthly's introductory note for each issue, as well as the Recordings column, which will cover significant new releases and reissues (both CDs and downloads), along with recommendations for related backlist titles
