Registration of scientific publications

The reason why I have not written for a long time is that I have been busy registering publications from our school in the database "GUP" - Gothenburg University Publications, which is a bibliographic system for the registration of scientific publications authored by researchers at Göteborg University. After some negotiations we are now allowed to include not only articles, books, reviews etc. but also musical compositions and compact discs. This was a big step forward since the administrators of the database needed to reevaluate the meaning of the concept "publication". We are, however, not allowed to include concerts or other types of performances. I am curious to hear about how it works elsewhere and my questions are:

1. Does your school have a similar database?
2. What type of material is included?
3. Who is doing the registration - the librarian or the author?

Librarian - Teacher collaboration

Dear colleagues,

It is now high time for the next question discussed at the Nordic Music Academy Libraries Conference in Reykjavik, 16th – 18th June 2008. Unfortunately there was no written summary from group nr 3, which I could include here, but I think all of you have some experience of the subject. Please, share your thoughts!

How do we promote the collaboration between the librarian and the teachers?
