In June 2003 the Austrian branch of IAML (15 members) was established as "Verein" according to the Austrian Vereinsgesetz. Its constitution is closely related to the IAML constitution.
The branch held two sessions during this year:

The first IAML Austria session of 2004 (April 20) took place in the Austrian National Library and dealt with only one item: the problems of copyright in the daily life of music libraries. Two experts in this field, Astrid Koblanck (Universal Edition) and Isolde Müller (Universitätsbibliothek Graz) informed on the various aspects of this topic.

The website of IAML Austria will be accessible in Autumn 2004 (www.iaml.at) and will offer information on the following items: a short description of IAML Austria and of its goals, the constitution, the officers, the next meetings, minutes of former meetings, the addresses of the members together with specific library information.
