Hi All,Just curious how one get's their CD into the local library. Where i am, I can go online and search for cd's and such and have them delivered to the closest library, but how does one get into their database to start with.I had a letter sent from Archieves canada in which i was to send them a couple CD's of music published in Canada. I am not sure if that is related. Has anyone every tried to get their stuff in there?Thanx for any info,Maceman

Do you mean how to get your CD into a local Public Library, or into a production music library?

Hi Suz,Local public libraries. I think there are 4 or 5 where i live, but I would like to get into other ones as well. You stimulated my interest in a production music library. I am unsure what that is or how to get in that either. Please explain.Cheers,Maceman

I have no clue on the public library thing. If you are looking to get into a "production library". You have come to right place. Chek out the listings that come out every 2 weeks and see what fits your musical prowess and submit. If it fits the bill, you will get an email or call from the listing party. More to it than that, but thats it in a small nutshell...HTH77

Production music libraries rent music to TV and film productions and share revenue with the writer/producers. There has been a huge expansion in the number of TV networks and cable series, both from the top down (broadcast and cable networks) and bottom up (webisodes) This is the pie many of us here at Taxi want a piece of. The Taxi TV and Film listings are a good indication of the kinds of tracks being bought and sold, and this is the best place to learn how to do that. HTH

Hey Maceman et al. I'm just returning from a week out of town at a gig, but wanted to at least give you a quick answer about getting your work in public libraries. Most public libraries prefer to work with distributors, rather than deal with individual vendors, and prefer to get their info from several publications that review products/ publications etc. specifically for libraries. I have info on 3 such publications for getting ones movies/ videos reviewed by library distributors, but haven't researched getting CDs reviewed. Best bet is to go in and ask your friendly neighborhood librarians how it works. Let us know what you find out!Best regards,Suz

mojo, Thanx for that info. I appreciate it. I think looking at the listing is a good start to see what they want!@suz, will do! I am thinking of going to the main branch and speaking to the director to see what needs to be done. I will definitely keep everyone posted.Cheers,Maceman
