Presentation on working with music in libraries

The Branch offers presentations to departments of library and information studies and other interested organisations as part of its educational remit. These were established because music librarianship is no longer taught as a discrete subject within UK Universities.

We offer a short presentation which gives an overview of the main issues involved in managing music collections and what career opportunities are available in music librarianship. The presentation also provides a chance for students to ask questions about music librarianship and debate current issues with a practitioner in the field.

The lecture can either be offered as part of a course module or as a free–standing guest speaker slot. If you are interested in a member of the Branch speaking to a group, contact Christopher Cipkin.
