Message from the President / Message de la présidente 
 
 
As we are seeing the tail end of what we 
fondly describe as “third winter” here in 
Saskatchewan, I hope that CAML members 
across the country may soon be 
experiencing the warmth and growth of 
spring renewal.  
It has been a busy year for many of us, 
individually and collectively. One collective 
effort was the “Music in Canada @ 150 
Wikipedia Project,” led by Stacy Allison-
Cassin. This national editing campaign 
aimed to pair the professional skills of 
librarians and archivists with members of 
the community, to increase the quality and 
amount of information about Canadian 
music in Wikipedia, and to bring wider 
access to our shared music heritage. Music 
libraries from Edmonton to St. John’s 
organized editing events in October 
resulting in over 200 articles edited or 
created. The hard work of the many 
organizers, volunteers, and editors who 
took part in this campaign certainly made 
it a success! 
It will not be long before we will gather for 
CAML’s 48th annual meeting, which takes 
place from May 31 to June 1 as part of the 
2018 Congress of the Humanities and 
Social Sciences on the University of Regina 
campus. The campus is situated on Treaty 
4 lands, which are traditional territories of 
the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, and Dakota, 
Lakota, and Nakoda, and the homeland of 
the Métis. Both the Program Chair (Tim 
Neufeldt) and Local Arrangements Chair 
(Gillian van der Ven) have been working to 
make sure all arrangements are in place 
before we arrive.  
  
En Saskatchewan, nous constatons la fin de ce 
que nous aimons appeler « le troisième hiver » 
de la saison. J’espère que, à l’échelle du pays, 
les membres de l’ACBM célébreront sous peu 
l’arrivée du printemps, qui apporte chaleur, 
croissance et renouveau.  
Pour bon nombre d’entre nous, l’année qui 
vient de s’écouler a été occupée, tant sur le 
plan individuel que collectif. Stacy Allison-Cassin 
a dirigé le projet collaboratif de Wikipédia 
« Music in Canada @ 150 ». Cette campagne 
nationale, qui jumelait bibliothécaires et 
archivistes professionnels avec des membres de 
la communauté, avait pour but d’enrichir le 
contenu de Wikipédia portant sur la musique 
canadienne, et ce faisant, de faciliter l’accès du 
public à notre patrimoine musical. De St. John’s 
à Edmonton, des bibliothèques de musique ont 
organisé, en octobre, des blitz de révision 
durant lesquels on a créé ou révisé plus 
de 200 articles (lien en anglais). Cette 
campagne s’est avérée un succès grâce au 
travail ardu des nombreux organisateurs, 
bénévoles et éditeurs qui y ont participé. 
D’ici peu, nous nous réunirons lors du 
48e congrès annuel de l’ACBM. Celui-ci se 
déroulera sur le campus de l’Université de 
Regina, du 31 mai au 1er juin, dans le cadre du 
Congrès 2018 de la Fédération des sciences 
humaines. Ce campus est situé sur les terres du 
Traité no 4, territoires traditionnels des 
Nêhiyawak, des Anihšināpēk, des Dakotas, des 
Lakotas et des Nakodas, et terre natale des 
Métis. Tim Neufeldt (responsable du 
programme) et Gillian van der Ven (responsable 
des préparatifs sur place) sont à l’œuvre pour 
veiller à ce que tout soit fin prêt pour notre 
arrivée. 
 
 
 
 
 
 CAML REVIEW / REVUE DE L’ACBM  46, NO. 1 (APRIL / AVRIL 2018) PAGE 4 
The program incorporates the Congress 
theme “Gathering diversities | 
mâmawinitotân nanâtohk-ayisiyiniwa.” 
I especially look forward to hearing from 
Tanya Ball and Anne Carr-Wiggin from the 
University of Alberta, who will give a 
keynote address on the topic of truth and 
reconciliation in music libraries.  
The program also features a number of 
workshop-style sessions alongside 
presentations of research papers. You will 
find the latest draft on the Congress 
website. Conference attendees are also 
encouraged to attend any offerings in the 
Big Thinking lecture series, Cultural or 
Community Connections programs, and 
featured events along with CAML events. 
The majority of our sessions and coffee 
breaks are located in the Education 
Building, which is conveniently located 
near the center of campus. If you are 
planning to attend this year’s meeting, I 
encourage you to book accommodations 
as soon as possible (these are limited and 
filling up quickly).  
In the past month, we had three calls for 
nominations to the board: President-Elect, 
Membership Secretary, and Treasurer. We 
received nominations for all positions and 
further updates will come at the AGM on 
June 1, 2018. Thank you to our 
Nominations Office, Jan Guise, for her 
ongoing work to facilitate this process. 
There will be opportunities for CAML 
members to meet with international 
colleagues during the 2018 IAML Congress 
from July 22 - 27 in Leipzig, Germany. I 
would like to congratulate our own 
Katherine Penner (University of Manitoba) 
the recipient of the very first Liesbeth 
Hoedemaeker-Cohen Award, which will 
support her travel to the IAML meeting. 
Congratulations, Katherine! A number of 
Le congrès a pour thème : « Diversités 
convergentes | mâmawinitotân nanâtohk-
ayisiyiniwa ». J’ai particulièrement hâte 
d’entendre le discours principal, prononcé par 
Tanya Ball et Anne Carr-Wiggin de l’Université 
de l’Alberta, qui portera sur la vérité et la 
réconciliation dans les bibliothèques de 
musique. 
Un certain nombre d’ateliers sont également au 
programme, de même que des présentations de 
projets de recherches. Vous trouverez la version 
la plus récente du programme sur le site du 
congrès. Nous encourageons les congressistes à 
assister aux causeries Voir grand, aux 
événements de la série Liens communautaires | 
Liens culturels ainsi qu’aux autres événements 
spéciaux, en plus de ceux organisés par l’ACBM. 
La majeure partie de nos séances et de nos 
pauses-café se tiendra dans l’Education 
Building, situé près du centre du campus. Je 
vous recommande de réserver votre 
hébergement le plus tôt possible, car les 
options sont limitées et la demande est grande. 
 
Le mois passé, nous avons émis un appel de 
mise en candidature pour les trois postes 
suivants au sein du CA : président désigné, 
secrétaire aux adhésions et trésorier. Nous 
avons reçu des mises en candidature pour 
chacun de ces postes et vous fournirons plus de 
renseignements lors de l’AGA du 1er juin 2018. 
Un grand merci à Janneka Guise, responsable 
des mises en candidature, qui a facilité le 
processus grâce à son travail continu.  
 
Les membres de l’ACBM auront l’occasion de 
rencontrer leurs collègues internationaux 
durant le Congrès 2018 de l’IAML, qui se 
déroulera du 22 au 27 juillet, à Leipzig, en 
Allemagne. Toutes mes félicitations à 
Katherine Penner (Université du Manitoba), 
première lauréate du prix 
Liesbeth Hoedemaeker-Cohen! (page en 
anglais) Ce prix couvrira ses frais de 
déplacement pour se rendre au congrès de

Canadian delegates are on the program, 
and I encourage you to attend if you are 
able.  
Planning is now underway to hold the first 
joint meeting between the Québec 
Chapter of CAML (SQACBM), and two 
chapters of the Music Library Association 
(MLA), the New York State-Ontario 
Chapter and the New England Chapter. 
This meeting will take place from 
November 8 - 9, 2018 at McGill University. 
I look forward to attending this inaugural 
joint meeting along with our MLA and 
SQACBM colleagues. Representatives from 
the CAML and IAML boards will also be in 
attendance, as will the MLA board. In 
coming weeks you will find updates, call 
for papers, and registration on the 
SQACBM website or through the CAML 
listserv.
