["Dr. Jutta Lambrecht" <info-netz-musik@xxxxxxxx>]

Liebe KollegInnen,

hiermit  leite ich Ihnen einen Beitrag von Martie Severt,  Manager der
Bibliothek des MCO und IAML Past President, weiter.

Ich hatte Sie bereits in der vergangenen Woche über die drohende Schließung
einer der größten Rundfunkmusikbibliotheken der Welt informiert.
Einzelheiten auf info-netz-musik<http://info-netz-musik.bplaced.net/?p=8097>;
dort finden Sie auch einen Link zur Facebookseite der Muziekbibliothek und
zu einer Seite, auf der Sie Ihren Kommentar hinterlassen können. Bitte
geben Sie hinter Ihrem Namen unbedingt Ihren Ort, und wenn möglich, Ihre
Institution und/oder Funktion an, um Ihrem Kommentar/Protest mehr Nachdruck
zu verleihen.

Bitte leiten Sie diese Information weiter.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung

Jutta Lambrecht

 Dear Colleagues,



Many of you are aware that the future of the Netherlands Radio Music
Library is very insecure. Perhaps you noticed the alarming news on IAML’s
News page: http://www.iaml.info/en/node/777



The present MCO (Music Centre of Netherlands Radio: 3 orchestras, radio
choir, music library, music education department) will cease to exist next
year August 1.

There a budget available after that date for the Radio Philharmonic
Orchestra and the Radio Choir. There is no budget for the Music Library.

Orchestra and Choir (and the broadcast organisation responsible for the
concertseries) will have to function without all the present services and
collections of the Music Library. Only a very limited amount of orchestral
sets and choir materials will be set apart. Also all other broadcasters
will be denied the use of the present Music Library.



In the coming weeks we will further investigate if indeed NPO (|Netherlands
Broadcast Organisation) continues to deny a budget to the Music Library: a
small budget to keep the library open and deliver services (online
catalogue, www.muziekschatten.nl ) to users, with only 1/3 of the present
staff members.



We also investigate possible cooperation with other institutions. Not an
easy task because some of these institutions will cease to exist because of
drastic budget cuts by the government. To be able to accomodate part of the
present collections elsewhere we need to find a budget as well.

I hope I can send some positive news soon but at present the prospects are
not good.



Best wishes,



Martie Severt
