Was für eine faszinierende, wunderschöne Stadt! Während der Tagung, konnten wir ein „Rundum-sorglos-Paket“ genießen.
The first IAML Congress Diary has reached us from Ruprecht Langer, Head of the German Music Archive, German National Library:
Since 2018’s IAML took place in my hometown, Leipzig, this year’s IAML in Kraków was in fact the second conference I attended. But since it was the first abroad, I’d like to share a few impressions about this very one. In seven words:
The conference was a thoroughly excellent experience.
I am delighted to announce that the preliminary programme for the IAML Congress 2019 (Kraków, Poland, 14-19 July) is now available on the Congress website.
In addition to the usual stimulating mix of paper sessions, posters, and working meetings, this year we are also introducing ‘Digital IAML’, a series of linked workshops and participant-led unconference sessions on digital tools for music libraries. This exciting new venture will take place on Thursday 18 July.
The new board of the Polish National Branch of IAML had a meeting on March 13, 2018 in Katowice. President Hanna Bias invited the board to the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music Library in Katowice. The deliberations were devoted above all to the preparations of the IAML Congress to be held July 14-19, 2019, in Krakow.
A three-day programme at the conference titled 16th National Conference of Music Librarians "Musical treasures of libraries - provenance, problems, promotion" and the 7th National Conference of Sound Libraries "Archiving - Rescue for Sound Monuments" was rich in presentations, discussions and interactive dialogues. The conference was held at the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music in Wrocław on November 20-22, 2017. It was organized by the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music Library in Wrocław, Section of Music Libraries of the Polish Librarians Association - Polish National Group of IAML and Sound Libraries Section of the Polish Librarians' Association.
