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. |

The Library of Congress has begun advertising for this program - see http://www.loc.gov/hr/jrfellows/about.html for more details.
The Music Division usually gets an intern or two through this program; please let your students know about this excellent opportunity!
A bit late, but there's still a week left!
The Norwegian Institute of Recorded Sound (NIRS) follows up on the great feedback we got over the last few years for our musical Advent Calendar with more old, old… ooold recordings! After all, it has now become a tradition!
Dear IAML Colleagues,
It has been five months since many of us met at the wonderful IAML Conference in Montreal. I hope that you returned home refreshed and stimulated. These conferences are especially valuable for making new contacts and for renewing old friendships. The opportunity to meet and talk in person, rather than via some electronic medium, is one that we treasure, and hope will continue.
