Abstract
YouTube’s accessibility, ease of use, and depth of content are strong lures for music students. But do music teaching faculty and librarians encourage this and do they use it in their own research, teaching, and work? This study surveyed over 9,000 music faculty and over 300 music librarians in the United States. It discovered that faculty rank and area of specialty are at times significant factors in their use of this tool, but not always in expected ways. It also found that faculty and librarians do not entirely share perspectives of YouTube’s usefulness in scholarship and teaching.
