[AMS-announce] CONF: IAML, Sydney, July 2007

[ams-announce-admin at list.bowdoin.edu]

The IAML Sydney 2007 Organizing Committee invites you to come on down to 
the forthcoming annual conference of the International Association of 
Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres in Sydney, 
Australia.  This is Australia's first ever International Association of 
Music Libraries Conference and it's on from 1st to 6th July 2007.

It's an exciting 5 - 6 day programme with plenty of opportunities for 
you to meet up and mix with hundreds of music librarians from around the 
world.  As well as musicians, A/V librarians, music archivists, 
musicologists, and music dealers and publishers, and many of your 
colleagues, and all in a very pleasant and stimulating environment, the 
purpose-built Sydney Conservatorium of Music.  The venue is in the 
historic centre of the city, on the edge of the Botanical Gardens, a 
short walk from the Opera House and beautiful Sydney Harbour.

The very full program emphasises the Australian context but is truly 
international in scope.  The social program and concerts are designed to 
introduce delegates to Australian music and culture.  The 
post-Conference tour takes delegates to Canberra, Australia's capital 
for a two-day tour of the significant music institutions there. The 
deadline for early bird registration is the 30th April.  So check out 
the program on the website at www.iamlaust.org/sydney.htm, 
download the registration form and send off your 
application with payment details to the address you'll find there as 
soon as you can.  (If you've let your IAML membership lapse, renew your 
national membership now, see www.iaml.info/en/national_branches and 
check out the visa requirements).

Your country needs very good representation at Australia's inaugural 
International IAML Conference.  So tell all your music / library 
colleagues and acquaintances and encourage them to join you for a week 
in Sydney in July.  We're having the biggest roll-up ever of music 
library people in Australia at this Conference.

Sincerely,
Murray Scott,
