Studying with Special Needs: Some Personal Narratives

Back in 2005, when Karen was in a group for academic librarians providing disability support, she wrote an article for Library Review, about studying with special needs, and how libraries can help.

The article is still attracting interest - Emerald reminded her that there's a live link to it, if your library subscribes to Library Review.  So, here it is:-

How Can the Library Support Your Creativity?

We try to have the books and music our readers need, and we bring electronic resources to the attention of our community.

We have induction sessions, and sometimes we have library events, like book launches and poetry readings.

Would you like talks on different aspects of our collection?  Or are there other ways we could help?  Just a thought ...

British Academy of Composers and Songwriters

It costs £70 a year to join the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters as an ordinary member. Here's a quote from their website:-

Membership of the Academy is open to anyone who is actively writing music.If the music you are writing today is to have any value in tomorrow’s world, the Academy needs your support in its continuing campaign to protect the value of copyright in an ever changing technological world. Equally, we need to continue our campaign to create a more favourable environment for today's music writers, whatever their area of music.We have two main categories of membership, dependant on where you are in your musical career. Members are emerging writers who have not yet become a member of any royalty collection society or who have recently joined one, such as the PRS. If you have just finished college, are composing as a hobby or have recently started to perform/write then this category of membership is for you.
