Dear colleagues,
I just wanted to alert you on the fact that a new issue of the IAML Newsletter now is available on the IAML web site. The editor, Michael Fingerhut, who always did a great job with the newsletter has this time surpassed himself! It is his last issue with a focus on the Amsterdam conference. Enjoy!

Questionnaire about the future activities of the LIMTI Branch
Dear colleagues,
At the last session with "LIMTI" in Amsterdam I handed out a questionnaire about the future activities of our branch. I realize that not everybody has the privilige to attend IAML conferences or did attend the session but had no time to fill in the form. Therefore I put the same questions on the blog. I would be most obliged to receive your comments. In case you prefer to send them by fax, this is my fax number: +46 31 786 40 59.
1. What do you think about today's session?
2. What topics do you think would be interesting for future conferences?
3. Do you have any suggestions regarding other activities for our branch?
4. Do you have any comments regarding the web site?
5. Do you have any comments regarding the blog?

Visit to AEC in Utrecht
Dear colleagues,
I am now back from the IAML conference in Amsterdam - trying to digest all the impression. The conference was a great success in every aspect: Great professional and social programme plus a lot of music wonderfully performed by various artists such as "Fugimundi" with Eric Vloeiman, Louis Andriessen, Ton Koopman and Nederlands Kammerkor. The conference staff was kind and obliging and the organization just perfect. The Organizing Committee is worthy of great praise!
Friday July 3, a couple of days before the conference started, I went to Utrecht to visit the office of "AEC" - the European Association of Conservatoires. Gabriela Rojková, office manager, and her team gave me a warm welcome and introduced me to the work of the organization. Of course, I took the opportunity to inform as much as possible about IAML and the Libraries in Music Teaching Institutions Branch. I had already met the president, Johannes Johansson, director of Royal College of Music in Stockholm, and invited him to give a talk at next IAML conference in Moscow. My idea is that one of the sessions with our branch will focus on Bologna and Music.
It turned out that the office team had just recently discussed the importance of involving librarians working at music conservatoires around Europe in the work of AEC. Perfect timing! They are very eager to receive contact information such as:
1. The name of the institution
2. The name of the head librarian
3. E-mail address
4. Phone number
5. If you would like to be included in the newsletter distribution list
Please, send the above information to: aecinfo@aecinfo.org
Kind regards,
Pia

See you in Amsterdam! ...and plans for Moscow!
Dear colleagues,
I am looking forward to seeing (some of) you in Amsterdam! As you may have noticed in the programme the session with Libraries in Music Teaching Institutions will take place on Friday at 11.00. We also have a joint session with Public Libraries Branch on Wednesday at 11.00.
This Friday (July 3) I will visit the "AEC" office (The European Association of Conservatoires) in Utrecht to discuss a possible future collaboration. I thought it would be a good idea to invite speakers from AEC to our session in Moscow. Topics to discuss could be:
1. "What will happen to Bologna after 2010?"
2. "Artistic research and research education"
3. "Quality assurance and accreditation"
4. "Information literacy"
Any response on the above would be grately appreciated!
