scary reference!

Some reference interactions:

Asked to get "black angels" by a "disc" numer, which are LP's, patron wanted CD, so I found one handily.

Had to find 3 Stravinsky ballets on LP's for duplication because the CD they were on is a reserve item.

Finally got the bejesus scared out of me by a question. The student was looking for a finished version of Hugo Wolf's "Mailied" with words by Holty, not by Goethe. The complete works only give a fragment and the bibliography of Wolf did the same. According to the student's professor, there is a "finished version" out there. Being somewhat flustered, I suggested he check back with the professor for more information. Then I knowcked around on Google Scholar, which pointed me towards a score done by the Internationale Hugo Wolf-Gesellschaft, which has the "Mailied" in it, but it didn't specify the version, although one article claimed it was based on the Wolf fragment.

There was also an email from a researcher in Italy, who was trying to get into an ebook that had a score in it, but was confusting that subscription service with the library's Digital Sheet Music Collection, which is free.
