From February 11 to February 16, Bruce Evans attended the annual
meetings of the Music OCLC Users Group (MOUG) and the Music Library
Association (MLA); both happening at the Renaissance Hotel at the Arboretum
in Austin. Since the meeting was in Austin, the Texas Chapter of MLA served
as the Local Arrangements Committee for this year's meeting.
Perhaps the most intriguing and useful session for both MOUG and MLA was the opening Plenary session of MOUG (celebrating its 25th anniversary this year) entitled "The Truth About CAT(aloger)s and DOG(ged Reference Librarian)s: Generating Symbiosis in the Relationship Between Public and Technical Services." The featured speakers for this were a music cataloger and music reference librarian from UNT, the music cataloger and music librarian from U. of N. Colorado, and the music cataloger/reference librarian from U. Tennessee at Knoxville. The overall message of this session was how catalogers and reference librarians can enhance each other's work. For example, at the UNT Music Library they have what they call a "tag-team" reference system. If the music reference librarian thinks a music cataloger can better answer a reference question, the music cataloger is consulted. On the other hand, they said that the cataloger needs to have patron needs in mind when cataloging (i.e. there's nothing wrong with tinkering with a cataloging record locally to make it more useful). If anybody has any further questions about this, feel free to get in touch with Bruce Evans. The rest of MOUG featured the 25th anniversary luncheon, a presentation on MARS, and a Q&A session for music catalogers with OCLC music cataloging expert Jay Weitz. MLA opened with a brass choir performance in the Renaissance Hotel atrium. It was just like hearing a concert in a cathedral. Highlights of MLA itself include an opening plenary session on the Texas Music Office in Austin, which supports music interests in the State of Texas, and a talk on the history of Texas music before the 1936 Texas Centennial; the Local Arrangements Committee Reception at the UT Architecture Library, which Bruce Evans organized; several music cataloging-oriented subcommittee meetings, in one of which they announced that there would be an effort to harmonize all of the electronic resource formats with the content that they are carrying, in which they hope to work into every chapter of AACR2 an introductory session on electronic resources; an informal meeting of the Texas MLA, which Bruce Evans chairs, in which new members could ask questions about the organization; the 2nd plenary session on changes in the recording industry; the Voyager Music Users Group meeting; and lastly a presentation by Morris Martin, head of the UNT Music Library, on all of the special collection databases that the UNT Music Library has created and maintains. |
| An exhibit for the Shuler Museum will be put up in the display cases in the Fondren Library Center Lobby, in late through Mid March. It will highlight the fine Paleontology program we have at SMU. Included in the display will be information on the development of the paleontology program, and current research and information on the scholars and graduate students associated with the program. An exhibit on the Korean War will follow. |
