Abstract

The aim of this work is to present a typological and statistical study of the musical collections in the public libraries of ‘Comunidad de Madrid’, specifically those in the capital. Reference was made to the main catalogue which gave insight into the different types of documents, as well as their different musical genres. The results of this study show which music styles are most in demand by the users of these libraries, and allows us to know their musical taste. These results also show that, although it’s a small collection compared with the rest of the library’s documents, its’ use in relative terms is very high.
