• Resumen

  • Since the sixties, in the French public libraries, music has been identified as a "sound recording lending library": this model stood out everywhere like a standard. Nevertheless, this supremacy is now debatable because of the crisis of the sound recordings industry and the loss of interest in the disc as an item: the MP3 appeared so music becomes nomadic and can be consumed anywhere at any time. The impact of this cultural revolution on libraries, just about everywher, results in a fallof the amount of the loans as well of the registrations. The French music librarian is quite weak bacause he neglected the other kinds of nusical documents such as books, periodicals, and printed music, now he is torn between two requirements: he can go on icreasing the CD collection for lending (even if the item is condemned) so he answers a still important need; he also can embark on experiments, such as music on-line services, even if he does not know how it will be successful (neither the economic standard nor the "virtual music" use are yet stabilised). This is the real challenge to asure the future of music in the public libraries.
