Song Stories: Just the Facts!

On May 12, 2022, NLS Music Notes published a blog post highlighting materials from the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) Music Section’s collections related to the Dragnet theme’s controversy involving composers Miklós Rózsa and Walter Schumann. Although we are proud to enhance discoverability of the NLS collections, the blog post did not appropriately credit Nora Ramsey’s work on the topic. After considering the concerns raised with the post, NLS made the decision to remove the blog post. NLS Music Notes apologizes both to the scholar whose important work NLS did not appropriately recognize, and to its readers.
