The mission of the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML) is to broaden access to music resources through international collaboration and advocacy, to support research, learning, performance and enjoyment. Our members open up the vast world of information and repertoire in their daily interactions with students, educators, researchers, musicians, and the general public. We work to promote and preserve musical heritage among diverse cultures as we recognise the importance of music in the lives of the world’s people.

A study trip to music libraries in Oslo

Ibsen’s Peer Gynt greets the visitors at the entrance hall of the National Library of Norway.Inspired by the many interesting congress diaries from Stellenbosch, I thought I would share another “diary”, but from a city situated slightly further up north, namely Oslo in Norway. I had the pleasure to visit three libraries there on 23-24 September: the Norwegian Academy of Music, the National Library and the Oslo Public Library (Deichmanske Bibliotek). My travel companions were Joakim Lilljegren and Niklas Persson, both colleagues at the Gothenburg University Library. We were joined by a music librarian from Istanbul, Güneş Çetinkaya Şerik, who works at the ITU Turkish Music State Conservatory - Music Library & Archive Centre.
