You may have noticed that we've got lots of books laying open upstairs today! Unfortunately we had a water leak overnight (in the MLs) and these books need some recovery time after getting some water damage. Please do not disturb them and thank you for your patience while we get this sorted out!

If you need to retrieve a book from the area that is tarped over, please ask an AML staff member!!

Meet Brianna Nay, who works on donation processing for the Allen Music Library!

Check out our first Student Project Spotlight: Kaleb Ward (Book Repairs)!

While we had a good laugh over yesterday's April Fool's post, we did want to highlight our Library Research (LR) collection (the compact shelving units on the first floor containing our collected works and critical editions). We love these resources because they provide in-depth, comprehensive coverage of a composer's corpus, but also of different eras, geographical regions, and more. The numbers below are just a small sample of how much the library has invested in this collection and how much you all can get out of it. Have questions about the Library Research collection? Ask us!

Out with the old, in with the new we say! Goodbye to those dusty critical editions and collected works of almost any composer you could think of, hello to shiny new massage chairs!! Who really needs to consult authoritative editions when you could instead fight your colleagues for a chance to sit in a massage chair before class? Swing by and check it out today!

Join us for an interactive workshop on web development hosted by the Research Computing Center! Make sure to bring a device to work on a project!

Last week, our Head Librarian, Laura Gayle Green, and our Head of Music Technical Services, Sarah Cohen, traveled down to Orlando, FL to attend a state-wide meeting of librarians where they each gave reports about subjects affecting the 40 public college and university libraries in Florida. Laura Gayle is the Co-Chair of the User Interfaces Standing Committee and Sarah Cohen is the chair of the Technical Services Standing Committee both of which make decisions and address issues which make your library experiences that much better! We're so proud and grateful for all the high-level work our librarians do for us and the state as a whole!
