  • Index to the CAML Newsletter / Nouvelles De L'acbm, Volumes 1-28
    Index to the CAML Newsletter / Nouvelles de l’ACBM, Volumes 1-28 CAML Review / Revue de l’ACBM, Volumes 29-38 Compiled by Kathleen McMorrow Faculty of Music Library, University of Toronto INTRODUCTION The CAML Newsletter / Nouvelles de l’ACBM, v. 1, no. 1, appeared in May 1972 as the initial publication of the newly organized Canadian Association of Music Libraries / Association canadienne des bibliothèques musicales, a national branch of the International Association of Music Libraries / Association internationale de bibliothèques musicales. Since 1956, most professional music librarians had worked together as members of the Canadian Music Library Association, the Music Section of the Canadian Library Association, producing a number of reference publications and newsletters. Some Canadians had also joined IAML as individual members following its establishment in 1951, in order to participate in international programs. A restructuring of CLA in 1971 challenged CMLA to “evaluate its organization and its objectives,” according to Marjorie Hale in her note to members in the August 1971 Newsletter, and the response, determined by a mail questionnaire, was the new organization, aiming for a wider, more diverse membership and range of activities. The Newsletter / Nouvelles has been published without serious interruption ever since, usually three times a year. Its size and general appearance has remained consistent, but serials’ cataloguers will have noted five successive appearances of the title page: the first included the acronyms and complete names of the association, with the titles Newsletter / Nouvelles; later versions used either the acronyms or the full names, and placed the titles in differing typographical relationships. Lynne Jarman edited the first few issues.

  • Tribute Committee and the Vaughan Road Alumni Association
    Vaughan Cover_revised.pdf 1 2017-03-14 11:05 AM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Message from the Chairs of the Farewell Tribute Committee and the Vaughan Road Alumni Association Hold a 91st reunion celebration or a farewell tribute celebrating 91 illus- trious years? That was the dilemma a small group led by Jack Parker, Chair of the Vaughan Road Alumni Association, faced in September 2016. On December 7, 2016, the verdict was in —Vaughan Road Academy (VRA) would close for good as of June 30, 2017. It was a sad moment for the group of five who had met at the school to learn the news that day. But there was no time to waste. There were less than six months to accomplish what would normally take a minimum of 18 months and that was to plan the best tribute possible for a school that has meant so much for thousands of students over its 91 years. A multi-generational committee was quickly assembled with the first Farewell Tribute Committee meeting held on January 11, 2017. I want to acknowledge all of the committee chairs, the volunteers, principal Cynthia Zwicker-Reston and her staff and faculty. This tribute was only made possible because each one worked tirelessly over the past five months, bringing their expertise and heart and soul to the task, ensuring Vaughan Road received a memorable send-off — one that every former student could enjoy and reflect with pride on how much we derived from our years here. Saying goodbye is hard to do.
