- Abstract
- The information needs of amateur musicians have largely been ignored by information professionals and librarians. In this study, nine amateur musicians were interviewed about their information needs. The participants relied most heavily on informal contact with other musicians to learn about playing opportunities and other needs related to playing music. Most of the information needs of the amateur musicians in this study were satisfied without use of the music library. Some of the participants in this study found the Internet to be their best source of information regarding playing music. The results of this study may act as a foundation for further studies into the information needs of the amateur musician.
