The primary goal of this survey is to discover the potential membership for a state sub-chapter in the Music Library Association. It also aims to discover the extent of the use of music specialists with music collections. In 1969, representatives from each state in the Midwest Chapter of the Music Library Association were delegated to query libraries of every type having music collections. Any library or organization having materials or equipment related to music received a questionnaire. By June 1970, 57.6% of the 156 questionnaires mailed were returned and found usable in the survey. Each section of the questionnaire made it painfully clear that a great variation in the approach to music service exists over the state. (MM)
