I am delighted to announce that the preliminary programme for the IAML Congress 2019 (Kraków, Poland, 14-19 July) is now available on the Congress website.

In addition to the usual stimulating mix of paper sessions, posters, and working meetings, this year we are also introducing ‘Digital IAML’, a series of linked workshops and participant-led unconference sessions on digital tools for music libraries.  This exciting new venture will take place on Thursday 18 July.
