Message from the Chair

Dear NEMLA members:

It is a pleasure to write my first newsletter column as the chair of NEMLA, and I have a lot of chapter news to share! I’d like to begin by thanking our outgoing Past Chair, Anna Kijas, for her many contributions to NEMLA during her time on the Board, and Jennifer Hunt, current Past Chair, for her able leadership during our 50th anniversary year. Many thanks are also due to Maria-Jane Loizou, Interim Member-at-Large, who took over the position from Sam Cook, and who has provided an excellent report on our spring meeting later in this issue. Our newly-elected officers are Zoe Rath, Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect, and Chris Schiff, Member-at-Large. Thanks and congratulations to all!

I’m sure everyone who attended our spring meeting at Brown University will join in my enthusiastic applause for all of our hosts at Brown, as well as our presenters and the members of the Program Committee: Laura Stokes, Maria Jane Loizou, and Ilana Revkin. Ned Quist’s band White Squall gave us a rollicking set to end the day, and it was perfectly timed, too: the first raindrops started to fall just as I left the reception.

We are very excited to debut our new website! The move to WordPress gives us more flexibility and better security; our web editor Jennifer Olson, with the help of Remi Castonguay, has been hard at work transferring content to the new platform. The site is still a work in progress, so look for more photos, news, and NEMLA information to be added in the days and weeks to come. We welcome your suggestions and feedback! Jennifer is stepping down as Web Editor after years of able service; I think the new website is a fitting legacy, and offer my thanks for everything she has done to make the transition smooth.

At its meeting in mid-July, the NEMLA Board discussed a number of chapter goals for the coming year:
First, we plan to convene an oral history committee to continue and expand the oral history project begun by Anna Kijas; we applied for and received a chapter grant from MLA to support our efforts. Our hope is that our oral histories will include a diverse sample of music and performing arts librarians: allowing us to document the history of the organization, our current membership, the variety of user communities we support, and our visions for the future of music librarianship. If you are interested in the project and would like to be part of the committee (or one of its interview subjects), please let Jennifer Hunt (jhunt at bostonconservatory dot edu) know.

MLA has asked all chapters to help achieve the following strategic goal:
Goal statement: Membership in MLA is valued by and beneficial to a broad range of organizations and individuals, and membership reflects the broad diversity of musics and populations we serve.
Objective 1: Increase outreach efforts to members from underrepresented groups.
Action: MLA establishes active outreach programs to library school programs, museums, performance librarians (not just orchestral), Schools and Departments of Music in universities, colleges, and community colleges.

At our spring business meeting, members brainstormed ways for NEMLA to contribute; a summary of their suggestions is posted online. The Board discussed these ideas, and agreed that we would begin by contacting organizations like MLA, the Music Library Students Group (MLSG), and ALA’s Office for Diversity to get further advice and best practices for long-term outreach. However, we will also begin by advertising our fall meeting more widely, encouraging presentations from public librarians about their programs and services, and piloting an initiative to pair first-time attendees with seasoned NEMLA members willing to serve as guides for the day, based on MLA’s First Time Conference Mentoring Program. Our efforts are still very new, and I invite you to look over the suggestions and provide feedback, as well.

Finally, we reviewed the roles of the Web Editor, Newsletter Editor, and Web 2.0 Coordinator. We decided that as the person responsible for most of our official communications, the Newsletter Editor should also take over responsibility for NEMLA’s social media accounts. Members of the Board have maintained our Twitter and Facebook accounts on a rotating schedule, but transferring control to one person will allow us to develop a more consistent voice. We’ve also split the duties of videography and meeting photography into multiple positions. Web developers and shutterbugs, this is your chance! Look for a call for volunteers later in the newsletter.

I’m looking forward to our fall meeting at the Boston Public Library on Friday, October 17th, 2014, and hope you are, too. Read on for more details about the meeting, and remember, it’s not too late to submit a presentation or program proposal!

I am looking forward to serving as NEMLA’s chair for the next year, and welcome your thoughts and suggestions for the chapter.

Respectfully submitted,

Kerry Carwile Masteller, Chair

Roundtable authorizations expire Dec. 31. A roundtable may be dissolved by the Chair if it appears that it no longer serves a need or that its work could be carried on more effectively by a committee of the Chapter. If a roundtable fails to have a minimum attendance of four participants for two consecutive years, that roundtable shall be retired.
  • Activities: All roundtables hold two meetings a year convened by the Coordinator during the semi-annual meetings of the chapter. Roundtable meetings and other roundtable activities may be announced in the NEMLA newsletter and listed in the programs of the semi-annual meeting. Roundtables are encouraged to participate in developing programs for NEMLA meetings.

ARTICLE IX. PARLIAMENTARY AUTHORITY

The rules contained in Robert’s Rules of Order shall govern this Chapter in all cases to which they are applicable.

ARTICLE X. DISSOLUTION

In the event of the dissolution of the Chapter the records of its activities and its assets, if any, shall become the property of the national organization of the Music Library Association.

ARTICLE XI. AMENDMENTS

These By-Laws may be amended by a two-thirds vote according to the following procedures and conditions:

  • Proposed amendments shall be submitted to the Executive Board for consideration at least eight weeks before the meeting of the Chapter at which it is requested that the proposal be presented.

Spring Meeting Minutes

The spring meeting of the New England Music Library Association (NEMLA) was held on Friday, March 28 at the Center for Digital Scholarship, Rockefeller Library, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island. The state-of-the-art space was filled to capacity with current and new NEMLA members. Jennifer Hunt opened the meeting by thanking Laura Stokes, Performing Arts Librarian at Brown University, NEMLA Program committee members and the many staff members from Brown for organizing the meeting. Following this, Jennifer turned the meeting over to Kerry Masteller. Kerry introduced Laura Stokes, who gave a warm welcome to participants and gave particulars about logistics. Ned Quist, Associate University Librarian for Research and Outreach Services and current member of NEMLA gave the opening remarks. He spoke to the current renovations and mission changes at Brown, noting that the “library is the intellectual hub of the University. We have changed from being a warehouse for books to a place where things are happening.”

After the greetings and announcements, Kerry introduced Jean Bauer, Digital Humanities Librarian, Brown University and Elli Mylonas, Senior Digital Humanities Librarian, Brown University to talk about OMEKA: Online Exhibits for Music Librarians. The Center for Digital Scholarship was an ideal space to accompany their talk, featuring 12 screens, 1 digital switcher, and over 12 HDMI plates. OMEKA is a content management system which allows the user to create an OMEKA site. These sites can integrate video and audio files, pdfs and urls, and are especially useful for small organizations without digital staff. After the morning session, library tours of the Orwig Music Library were offered by the music library staff, followed by lunch (off-site).

The spring meeting resumed after lunch with a short business meeting. Changes in the By-Laws were read through and accepted. Four new members attended. The results of the last election were announced. Chris Schiff is the new Member-at-Large, and Zoe Rath is the new Vice-Chair. We will need a new Web 2.0 coordinator, to replace Zoe. Erica Charis continues as the Newsletter Editor, as does Sarah Funke Donovan, Secretary-Treasurer, Sofia Becerra-Licha, Archivist, and Jennifer Olson, Webmaster. There are openings in the following committees: Nominating, Technical Services, Publications, Education and Outreach, and Program. There is also a possibility of forming an Oral History Committee. Sarah gave the Secretary-Treasurer’s Report. We have a surplus largely because of the unexpected generosity of the Boston Athenaeum, the host of our Fall 2013 meeting. We have 73 members in good standing. NEMLA has been asked by MLA to help with the MLA Strategic Plan as a chapter. In particular, they would like to increase membership from under-represented groups by establishing outreach programs to public libraries, museums, performance librarians, undergraduate and graduate musicology and library science students. Sofia made an announcement that the NEMLA archives are looking for a new home. They are approximately 15 linear feet. At the conclusion of the business meeting, the gavel passed from Jennifer Hunt to Kerry Masteller.

The afternoon session featured two fascinating presentations. Remi Castonguay, Public Services Project Librarian, Gilmore Music Library, Yale University and Francesca Livermore, Arts-Area Digital Librarian, Haas Family Arts Library, Yale University spoke on Preserving Unique Films in the Benny Goodman Collection, and Alec McLane, Music Librarian and Director of the World Music Archives, Wesleyan University spoke on The Music Never Stopped: The Grateful Dead at Wesleyan. More information,  presentation content and video recordings of the presentations can be found on the new NEMLA website’s Virtual Archive page. Following the final presentation, a closing reception was given at the Ann Marie Brown Mausoleum with splendid music provided by White Squall, featuring our own Ned Quist, his wife Alice Pace and fiddler Andy Grover.

Boston Public Library
Boston, MA

Friday, October 17th, 2014

Save the date—the fall 2014 NEMLA meeting will be held on Friday, October 17th at the Boston Public Library, Boston, Ma, in the Commonwealth Salon of the main library branch.

Established in 1848, by an act of the Great and General Court of Massachusetts, the Boston Public Library (BPL) was the first large free municipal library in the United States. Within its collection of 23 million items, the library boasts a wealth of rare books and manuscripts, maps, musical scores and prints.

The Central Library, which will host our meeting, includes the famous Sargent Gallery, with spectacular murals painted by John Singer Sargent. Also be sure to see the courtyard of the Central Library, which includes beautiful columns and a water fountain.  Boston Public Library is itself a cultural masterpiece.

NEMLA participants will have the chance to tour the buildings on the day of the meeting. You will have a chance to sign up for a tour shortly.

Many of you are familiar with the many attractions of Boston. Instead of listing them here, I will point you to a very comprehensive list.

We encourage our members to join us on Thursday before the meeting for the members’ dinner, and this fall we have the added bonus of including a tour of the Boston Symphony Orchestra archives before dinner. Stay tuned: more details about this BSO tour and dinner details will be sent through NEMLA-L.

A big change this year is the board’s decision to increase the price of meeting registration slightly. The board is still committed to keeping meetings affordable for everyone, but also felt the need to adjust costs commensurate with inflation. The price increase also enables the board to allow pre-prepayment through Eventbrite, a service that will enable us to provide a more convenient registration process for our members.

Our special thanks goes to Boston Public Library staff, and especially to Emily Tokarczyk, Robert Cunningham, and Charlotte Kolczynski for help with local arrangements and hosting this meeting. The Program Committee for the meeting includes Laura Stokes, Anne Adams and Ilana Revkin. Travel information, program details, and logistics will follow. We all look forward to seeing you in Boston!
