Me and my colleagues at the Academy of Music and Drama have had the privilege to make some study visits in Scotland, thanks to a grant from the University of Gothenburg. We just came back from the trip, which was full of nice impressions. Before leaving Gothenburg I had read a book about the country and I can confirm the statement that the Scots are very hospital! We received a wonderful reception wherever we came. I would like to take the opportunity to say a special thank you to Karen McAuley at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow and Almut Boehme, at the National Library in Edinburgh - both members of the IAML community.
This made me think of an idea Birgitta Sparre, librarian at Ingesund University College of Music, launched at the IAML conference in Oslo 2004 - namely work exchange between music libraries within IAML. I remember that we sent around a list for people to sign, but I am afraid nothing came out of it. Maybe it would be a good idea to use this blog for people to get in contact? I start by posting an open invitation to Gothenburg!
