On behalf of the IAML Sections Broadcasting and Orchestra Libraries, Cataloguing and Metadata, and Libraries in Music Teaching Institutions, it is a pleasure for us to call for your contributions to the next IAML Online Meeting. The meeting will take place on Zoom, 25 March 2022.
The European Association of Conservatoires (AEC) had its Annual Congress and General Assembly on 10-12 November in Gothenburg. The venue was the Academy of Music and Drama, where I work. I took the opportunity to present IAML and the "enhanced role music librarians play at a conservatoire today" at the Information Forum. I informed the attendees that IAML and AEC has a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at a collaboration to promote higher education in music.The Forum opened with a one-minute presentation by all participants. There were around 250 people in the audience - all of them key persons in the area of highter music education, not only in Europe but worldwide. Then followed a so-called Marketplace where each participant had a table (like a poster presentation). I used the slogan "IAML - Music Librarians of the World" invented by our esteemed colleague Pam Thompson:-)! To my great satisfaction I had many visitors who wanted to know more about IAML and how the librarian at a conservatoire can support teaching and research.
