Something Old, Something New ... New in the Whittaker Library today

Today's cataloguing has included recent CDs contributed by Conservatoire colleagues, and the tail end of a batch of recorder music that we inherited from a local school. Very varied indeed!  To see what we've added to stock, just click here.  (It also gives you an idea of the varied performance repertoires of our teaching colleagues ... reminding us that they have lives as performers "out there", as well as respected instrumental teachers in the RCS.)

(Don't ask about the odd characters in the wordcloud - they don't appear in the catalogue!)

Up There With the Greats - Cello Suites and Hot Jazz

The Whittaker Library thinks it's rather nice that this week the collection has acquired CDs by our own celebrities:-

• David Watkin, Head of Strings, plays the Bach Cello Suites - a recording receiving rave reviews;
• and our Jazz department releases RCS Jazz Road West

Find them on the new accessions shelf next week.  Or look up details online, here.

We are the very helpful Whittaker Library at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, here to help our community of performing artists with their information needs.

What do Librarians Do While Students are Away?

Summertime in the Library

We catch up!  The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's Whittaker Library has been adding more of the David Nicholson flute music bequest to stock*, not to mention ...

• Cataloguing books and policy documents that came our way, 
• Replacing lost materials, 
• Authoring podcasts about our services, 
• Planning training sessions for staff and students ...
• And of course we're still here for students who're not on vacation, and our academic and support staff colleagues!

Don't forget, you can always check the latest additions to stock by visiting THIS LINK.  (It's at the bottom of the catalogue homepage, by the way). 


*  The best music title award last week went to this little gem from the David Nicholson bequest:- 

The Old Men Admiring Themselves In the Water, by Robert Beaser.  (No kidding!  It sparked off something of a contest between the Whittaker Library and our opposite numbers at the RNCM.  Watch this space for more gems!)

String Chamber Music Gift

The Whittaker Library recently received a substantial gift of string ensemble music from the Borland and Irving collection.  They're being added to stock this week.
