Raya Garbousova poster session is posted online

Lynne Thomas and I have launched the online version of our poster session on the Raya Garbousova collection (held by the Rare Books & Special Collections Department of the Northern Illinois University Libraries). You can see the online poster here. The online presence for our poster is part of a blog for the poster session presenters at the 2009 Music Library Association conference in Chicago.

Raya Garbousova poster session materials on display

Please come to the Music Library and check out our display of materials from the poster session Lynne Thomas and Michael Duffy presented at the 2009 Music Library Association Meeting in Chicago. The poster session was entitled: "Raya Garbousova: Dedications to the World-Renowned Cellist."

You can find the materials in the first floor exhibit case and posted to the bulletin board at the top of the stairs on the second floor of the Music Library. The Raya Garbousova Collection is held by the Rare Books and Special Collections Department of the NIU Libraries.

Michael Duffy will attend the Music Library Association Annual Meeting next week

I will be out of the office next week from Tuesday, February 17 through Friday, February 20, to attend the 78th annual conference of the Music Library Association in Chicago. In addition to attending conference sessions and committee meetings, I will also present a poster session with Lynne Thomas, Head of Rare Books and Special Collections at NIU on the music collection of Raya Garbousova, world-renowned cellist and former member of the NIU School of Music faculty.

I will bring my trumpet with me again to play with the MLA Big Band. We always have a good time!
