Music Library Association 2015 Citation: Jane Gottlieb

For over thirty years, she has promoted the interests of the users of music libraries through publications, advocacy, and tireless work in many roles within the Music Library Association, among them Member-at-Large, Development Officer, Program Chair, President, recipient of the Special Achievement Award for Plan 2001, ALA Representative, Local Arrangements Co-Chair, and Editor of Notes.  Within the International Association of Music Libraries she has been active in its professional branches and—as President of IAML’s US Branch—she was an early advocate for the merging of IAML and MLA.  As the Vice President for Library and Information Resources at The Juilliard School, she has fostered the development of the Lila Acheson Wallace Library as a major performing arts research collection and has worked with her administration to secure the best possible facilities for the collection’s housing and use.  Through her labor and leadership, she has enhanced the prestige of the profession of music librarianship and has come to embody the purposes of this Association.

The Music Library Association is pleased to confer upon Jane Gottlieb The MLA Citation.
