Music brings people together, and IAML membership supports our aim to make music internationally accessible through acquisition and lending, preservation and digitization, cataloguing and bibliography, and documentation and research. Moreover, most music librarians and archivists serve as educators, opening up the vast world of information and repertoire during their daily interactions with students, faculty members, researchers, musicians, and the general public. We work internationally on multiple fronts to promote and protect musical heritage among diverse cultures, because the importance of music in the lives of the world's peoples is something we truly cherish.

Draft code of conduct published for consideration

At least year’s Council meeting in Vienna, Jerry McBride suggested that IAML should formulate a “Code of Conduct”. This is an issue in the USA that could affect delegates’ permission to attend conferences; a number of universities and other institutions in the USA now require associations that hold conferences to have such a Code in order to allow and/or support their faculty, staff, and students to attend. Because next year’s conference is in New York, where attendance could be impacted especially, it is hoped that a Code will be adopted in Antwerp.
