MUSICat serves as an inspirational model for mobilizing public institutions and forms that can provision communities in diverse and locally sensitive ways. 5/13
Artists who share music via MUSICat are paid for their work with library funding & are granted other substantial forms of support through the library system. 4/13
Launched by the Madison Public Library in 2014, MUSICat has since been adopted by public libraries, including in Pittsburgh, Nashville, Fort Worth, New Orleans, Edmonton & elsewhere. 3/13 vice.com/en/article/5d3…
We speak w/ Preston Austin (@gl33p) & Kelly Hiser (@kellyhiser) from Rabble, the company behind MUSICat, as well as w/ Racquel (“Rocky”) Mann, who coordinates the MUSICat service with Edmontonians as Digital Initiatives Librarian for Edmonton Public Library (@EPLdotCA). 2/13
🍾Happy New Year! 🎆 This month, MotL is joined by the folks behind the MUSICat project, an online music streaming service for public libraries designed to share heterogenous local music with local community members. tinyurl.com/5n8ve4u5 🧵 1/13
