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. |
Dear Colleagues, Mrs. Yasuko Todo sent her Conference impressions from Japan. It was not her first time in Wien. She has be there before when she went to the IAML conference in Cambridge (some years ago).

Juliane Linke aus Dresden war zum erstenmal bei einer internationalen IAML-Konferenz. Sie kam Voller neuer Ideen und Musik im Kopf zurück… Einen besonderen Tag oder Höhepunkt aus der IAML-Konferenz auszuwählen fällt schwer, da ich nach der letzten Woche voller fachlicher Anstöße und zahlreicher schöner Erinnerungen übersprudele. Langsam „verdaue“ ich die gewonnen Kenntnisse, um sie dann in den Musikbibliotheksalltag einzubringen.
Jaakko Tuohiniemi schickt seinen Bericht aus Finland und hat freundlicherweise einen englischen Abstract beigefügt: (Some Personal Highlights of Vienna IAML Conference): Instead of being able to list only “the one best” of all of the wealth of the meeting, the author lists various “greatest” moments of the overheated week, viz from some excellent individual presentations to the happy-ending election in Council and from quality concerts to spirited collegial company.
For those of you who did not attend the Conference in Vienna last week it is my pleasure to announce the result of the elections for the positions as President and Vice-Presidents:
President:
Barbara Mackenzie, RILM Editor-in-Chief
Vice-Presidents:
Johan Eeckeloo, Conservatory Brussels
Antony Gordon, British Library
Joseph Hafner, McGill University
Stanisław Hrabia, Jagiellonian University, Krakow
I am including a summary of the Council meeting in Vienna. Please, note that this is not the final minutes. There will be an announcement when the minutes from the Council meeting and General Assembly will be available on the IAML website.
