library services and pinpoint potential musical creative activities.
Design/methodology/approach/methodology/approach – Webster’s conceptual framework for the
creative thinking process in music is informing our survey while the analysis adopts a multiple criteria method
for quantifying musical creativity. strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis is also
adopted developing strategic decisions based on musicians’ creativity behaviours.
Findings – Mental representations of the music heard (listening) is the most important dimension for creative
thinking in music while dimensions such as recorded improvisations (improvisation), written analysis
(analysis) and composed music scores (composition) follow. SWOT analysis provides further indications for
music library services development based on musicians’ creativity behaviours.
Originality/value – This study proposes a novel research vein based on multicriteria analysis within the
contexts of musical creativity for managing music library services.
