Membership Information
… a rich history
Nathan Eakin, Reference and Special Collections Associate, Gaylord Music Library, Washington University, St. Louis, MO, 1962-2000.
“For years, membership and attendance at the Midwest MLA meetings have been vital continuing education… and have provided an opportunity to get to know the many nationally valued members of the chapter and occasionally call upon them or offer them specific assistance.”
Marion Korda, Music Librarian at University of Louisville School of Music, 1947-1988
“I’d like to say … how much being a member of the midwest Chapter and the national group, learning from my friends in the neighboring states, how we interchanged information, has meant so much through all these years. It’s been a great boost. I would observe what they were doing in their libraries, and … they would come and see what I was doing in my library. The exchange has been just invaluable.”
Leslie Troutman, Music Librarian, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL, 1987-2003.
“Membership in the MLA Midwest Chapter helped me take my first steps as a music librarian; now it is one of the things that sustains me.”
… a vital role today
Beth Christensen, Music Librarian, Halvorson Music Library, St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN.
“One of the many reasons I love being a music librarian is the chance to be a part of MLA’s Midwest Chapter. As an organization, it brings out the very best in all of us as individuals. I have always felt welcomed and “lifted up” by my friends and colleagues in the Midwest Chapter – people doing serious and important work with a sense of joy, commitment, generosity, fairness, and fun.”
Alan Green, Head, Music/Dance Library, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.
“The MLA Midwest Chapter meeting is an oasis of information sharing and (more importantly) fellowship with other music librarians during the autumn. It is especially important for librarians wearing multiple hats at smaller institutions, to be able to tap into the experience of music librarians from the medium and larger sized universities in the region.”
