Music Reference Services Quarterly is an active peer-reviewed scholarly journal published quarterly by Taylor & Francis. Launched in 1992, it publishes research on all aspects of the management and use of music collections and services in academic, orchestra, public, conservatory, and performing/fine arts libraries, as well as archives and museums.
Each issue features original conceptual papers, literature reviews, practical case studies and opinion pieces, together with regular columns covering reviews of electronic resources and new books, and interviews. Published papers explore a number of topics, including administration and management, bibliographic instruction, collection development, digital audio delivery, electronic resources, facilities, music librarianship education, preservation of music materials, reference services, cataloging, and bibliographies relating to printed music and audio-visual materials. Occasional special-focus issues are dedicated to a particular topic of interest.
The Internet Archive Collection contains microfilm published between 2004 and 2012.
