Music at Boarding School? We have unique insights!

Karen wrote a blogpost for the Eighteenth-Century Arts Research Network (EAERN) website, about the music borrowed from St Andrews University LIbrary by one particular borrower and her daughters in the early nineteenth century.

Social Media in the Whittaker Library

Welcome! You've found our blog!  Did you know we also have Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest accounts?  

• Twitter 
• Facebook 
• Pinterest - currently showcasing Shakespeare materials for Shakespeare 400.

The team shares responsibility for different social media accounts, but our common aim is to bring you interesting performing arts-related links, news, and to profile significant parts of our collection or new acquisitions that we think might interest you.

Our staff and students also get regular updates about new electronic media resources - all part of the service from the Whittaker Library at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Music Librarians Go Abroad

We're members of IAML - the International Association of Music Libraries.  Karen posted a 'conference diary' entry on the IAML website, after attending and speaking at the 2014 conference in Antwerp earlier this month.  You can read it HERE.

Our international professional association, IAML, has just posted a wonderful endorsement of music librarians.  Katie Hamilton highlights the benefits on both sides when music librarians collaborate with musicologists.
