Online Membership Directory relaunched by Carlos Yoder

After a few months of intense development, it is my great pleasure to announce the relaunch of the Online Membership Directory—a rich, comprehensive, and secure repository of information about the Council’s constituency, and a powerful research tool for our members.

Among the most important new features are:

✴ Improved search. Members can now search for colleagues by full name, e-mail address, country of residence, research interests, ﬁeld- work locations, and/or projects.

✴ Richer profiles. Members can now add more information to their profiles, such as their photo, personal website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twit- ter, and Academia.edu profiles, af- filiation to ICTM Study Groups, and The Edit Profile screen of the new Online Membership Directory.

TVK: Yes, I was. At that conference, I witnessed the name change of the organization from International Folk Mu- sic Council to International Council for Traditional Music.
