Music Advisory Rountable at ALA

If you're heading to ALA in Washington, D.C., why not give our music editors 45 minutes of your time at our Music Advisory Roundtable? Conveniently located in the Washington Convention Center, our roundtable gives you the chance to voice your opinion and provide feedback on our current and future music collections. In exchange for your time we'll give you the opportunity to win a one-year subscription.

Our streaming audio content will triple in size by the end of 2010, we have new features, functionality, and cross-search enhancements to tell you about, and we're lowering prices. Be among the first to hear about all of it by attending this advisory roundtable and giving us your input!

The Music Advisory Roundtable is one of five roundtables we're hosting at ALA. You can learn more and RSVP here.

Going to AMS? Join us for breakfast

If you're heading to Philadelphia next week for the American Musicological Association Annual Meeting, we'd love for you to join us for breakfast on Saturday, November 14th.

Each year Alexander Street treats AMS members to a delicious, hot breakfast while displaying the newest tools, features, and online collections in our music portfolio. This year, Liz Dutton and Tim Lloyd will demonstrate how to cross-search all of our audio, video, music reference, and score collections using the Music Online platform. They'll also show you how Music Online meets all of your teaching and research needs through practical examples from topics presented at the meeting.

Additionally, all breakfast attendees will be entered in our drawing for a free year of access to Jazz Music Library for their entire institution! Imagine returning to work with that bit of good news.

Seating at the breakfast is limited, so please RSVP now if you'll be in Philadelphia.

We'll also be in booth #411 in the exhibit hall if you can't make the breakfast.
