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.

IAML Membership Survey - at a Glance

A survey was created using the tool Survey Monkey to help the IAML Board gather information about the recent IAML conference, attendance at IAML conferences, and feedback about IAML in general. The survey included ten questions, of which some had multiple parts. Respondents had six weeks to complete it. A total of 295 people responded, and Survey Monkey produced a 31-page summary of results. An overview follows.

Update from the Web Team

The Web Team (Gabriele Gamba, Stefanie Hundsberger, Astrid Evasdotter Smith, Jennifer Ward) would like to wish all IAML-members a very happy new year. It is time for us to bring you a little update on our activities. We have been very busy over the last few months working on the general structure of the new website. For this goal we are working together with Swedish web designers in order create a website that is user-friendly as well as functional and pleasant to look at. The web designers delivered first sketches of the skeleton of the new website just before Christmas.

Best wishes to all colleagues for a very happy holiday season, and a wonderful New Year from the IAML President!
