The Polish National Branch of IAML is celebrating today (March 24, 2016) the birth of the initiator and co-founder of the Section of Music Libraries - Polish National Branch of IAML!

The IAML Board is pleased to announce that IAML has a new logo.

For some time there has been the feeling that the old logo which has served us well for many years was looking a little dated, not least since the German IAML branch prefers to use the French AIBM abbreviation in preference to IVMB.

Fontes is now searching for a new Advertising Manager. If you are interested in applying for this position, please send a cover letter, CV (resume), and a list of three references to Jim Cassaro, Editor, Fontes Artis Musicae (cassaro@pitt.edu) by 8 APRIL 2016.

The annual conference of the Music Library Association (USA) was held 2-5 March 2016 in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Anna Kijas, Digital Scholarship Librarian at Boston College, reflects on her experience.

Each year the MLA conference brings together people with a shared interest in music librarianship and music resources. While this interest may be directly linked to our professional roles and careers, we also represent a community of people who may have started out as musicians, archivists and librarians working with music-specific materials, but now represent roles in emerging or evolving areas, such as metadata, discovery services, digital preservation, or digital humanities. It is this sense of community that brings me (and others I know) to the MLA conference every year.

The annual conference of the Music Library Association (USA) was held 2-5 March 2016 in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Benjamin Knysak of RIPM reflects on his experience.

As an “R” project representative and IAML member it is always a pleasure and honor to attend the annual MLA conference and to interact with so many devoted music librarians. This year’s conference was held in Cincinnati, Ohio, a city at the crossroads of the East Coast and Midwest and of the North and the South.
