SESSION I
(Thursday, October 18)
John Anderies (Haverford
College) presented a paper entitled "Ethel Louise Lyman and the
Beginnings of the IU Music Library." Lyman was a founding
member of the Music Library Association and served as the first music
librarian at Indiana University from 1939 to 1959. Before that she
spent seven years at Forbes Library in Northampton, Massachusetts and
seventeen years at Smith College. In addition to the career of Ethel
Louise Lyman, the paper also covered the early history of the Indiana
University Music Library prior to Lyman's appointment. The paper
will appear in the December 2002 issue of Notes.
(John Anderies)
Dean Emeritus Charles H. Webb of the IU
School of Music then offered an entertaining and enlightening perspective
on the history of the IU School of Music.
A reception followed with
entertainment by the Latin Jazz Quartet.
SESSION II (Friday,

Following warm welcomes from Gwyn
Richards (Dean, IU School of Music) and Mary Wallace Davidson (William and
Gayle Cook Music Library, IU), Emma Dederick-Colón (Indiana
University) presented a "Reference Refresher on World Music"
sponsored by the Public Services Committee. Dederick-Colón reviewed an
extensive list of online resources, including libraries and archives;

foundations;
festivals, symposia, and congresses; and sources for printed materials,
recordings, and videos. She then presented a bibliography of basic
reference sources.
In the second presentation,
"Computer Workstation Ergonomics Simplified," Mark Ciancone, M.D.,
(Occupational Medicine Section, IU Health Center), spoke about cumulative
trauma disorders (CTDs)--their causes, symptoms, and treatment. Dr.
Ciancone noted the prevalence of CTDs in our computer-oriented workplaces,
often resulting in serious long-term disabilities and complicated courses
of treatment. But his most important point was that CTDs are generally
easy to prevent, and to that end he demonstrated both bad and good
examples of workstation environments and provided a list of Web resources.
A lively discussion with many questions followed.
(Greg Fitzgerald)

SESSION IV (Saturday, October
20)
IU's Hoagy Carmichael Collection was discussed by

(Executive Assistant to the President, IU Foundation). This was followed
by a presentation on the Hoagy Carmichael Digitization Project by Jon Dunn
(IU Digital Library Program) and Mudge, and an update on the IU Music
Library digitization project by Dunn.

CATALOGING
Patty
Falk
Eight people attended the Cataloging Committee meeting on October 18,
2001. The meeting opened with a Powerpoint presentation by Joe
Hafner (Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library) on
cataloging web sites using OCLC CORC, followed by a question and answer
session. Next was a brief discussion about republishing the directory of
automation projects in the Midwest. Committee members
considered questions that might be added to the original survey, such as
digitization projects, or items that might be deleted. The committee will
move forward with this project in the next few months and work with the
Publications Committee in producing the next issue of this
directory. The meeting ended with members describing what was happening in
their own institutions.
