Switzerland, report 1993

The Annual Meeting of the Swiss Branch took place in Bern at the National Library on May 7. The topic of the day was: “Music documentation in Switzerland: which offer for which demand?”. Papers were read about the role of music in the current reorganization of the National Library, the music information available from SUISA and the SVISA Foundation, and about music information in the Netherlands.

The General Assembly, which was held in the afternoon, decided on the creation of a working group on minimal standards for music cataloguing with the aims to call the attention of the Swiss library world to the special problems related to music cataloguing and to improve the coordination of music cataloguing in Switzerland.

Finally the project of an annual conference of IAML in Switzerland in 1997 was discussed.
