Abstract
Many young singers are unaware that the edition of a piece they select may differ greatly from a different edition of the same piece. The proliferation of free and easily accessible public domain scores online has complicated the process of selection and has favored convenience over quality. This article explains how the evaluation of scores is a valid information literacy competency and details steps that music librarians can take to promote evaluation of editions among undergraduate vocal music majors.
