types of user
3) have some knowledge of sources of information for music enquiries
4) have a better understanding of what is expected of staff working in
a music library
Sessions include: Terminology (music genres, keys, types of score,
etc.), Music in library catalogues, Copyright, Caring for and promoting
your CD collection, Music enquiries and information sources (printed and
electronic), and practical exercises
It is also an opportunity for participants to share their own
experiences, and to see Newham's striking new library - part of the
Stratford Cultural Quarter development in east London
