The Penn Libraries announced the appointment of Steve Mantz, who recently joined the staff of the Otto E. Albrecht Music Library as Music Technical Services Librarian, succeeding Brad Young, who retired last May.
Mr. Mantz will oversee operations related to the acquisition, cataloging and shelf preparation of scores, sound recordings and video recordings, including the development of policies and procedures and the supervision of staff. He provides access to these materials by cataloging them for local and national online catalogs and works with the Rare Book and Manuscript Library in the cataloging of rare music scores and manuscripts. He also plans and oversees the creation of metadata for digital projects related to music materials.
Mr. Mantz came to Penn from the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he was music catalog librarian and supervised a music cataloging department similar in size and scope to Penn’s. He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (MLS; MA in musicology) and he started his career as music technical services supervisor at UNC (1989-1994) before becoming the music librarian at Davidson College in North Carolina (1994-2008).
His professional activities have included serving on the Music Library Association Board of Directors (2009-2011), editing the Association’s newsletter (2002-2009) and participating in a number of committees related to music cataloging.
