Music in Libraries: Just the Basics

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic and SEMLA’s decision to hold the 2020 Annual Meeting online, SEMLA will not be hosting its Music in Libraries: Just the Basics preconference workshop this year. We do plan to host the workshop next year prior to the 2021 SEMLA Annual Meeting at Emory University in Atlanta, GA.

For anyone needing to find online training in cataloging music materials, we recommend investigating the OLAC 2020 Conference, taking place October 13-16, 2020. Their cataloging workshops are being held on Wednesday, October 14 and Thursday, October 15 prior to the SEMLA meeting.

Included are workshops on “Basic Sound Recordings” (Mary Huismann), “Basic Video” (Jay Weitz), “Advanced Sound Recordings” (Mary Huismann), “Advanced Video” (Jay Weitz), “Basic Scores” (Morris Levy), and “Advanced Scores” (Morris Levy).
