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. |
A bit late, but there's still a week left!
The Norwegian Institute of Recorded Sound (NIRS) follows up on the great feedback we got over the last few years for our musical Advent Calendar with more old, old… ooold recordings! After all, it has now become a tradition!
Dear IAML Colleagues,
It has been five months since many of us met at the wonderful IAML Conference in Montreal. I hope that you returned home refreshed and stimulated. These conferences are especially valuable for making new contacts and for renewing old friendships. The opportunity to meet and talk in person, rather than via some electronic medium, is one that we treasure, and hope will continue.
