In-order to achieve the research objectives, an in-depth literature study was undertaken, observations were made on the current information storage and retrieval status in the music collection and the data was collected by administering questionnaires to respondents, document survey and observation. The study revealed that information storage and retrieval was not receiving much attention. Recommendations were drawn.
