The Sound of Music at 780
The Dandenong hills are alive with the sound of music and it originates from Dewey Decimal Classification 780 and the location of music processing at 780 Elizabeth Street, The University of Melbourne. The presentation will demonstrate how changes in policy and procedures enabled the transformation of my position in the Monograph Team, Information Services. An upward climb from a supporting role in music processing to undertaking all aspects of information provision for music material. Hear how a progressive supervisor and an enlightened Music Librarian put their trust in a library technician to look after music and provided on-going support and encouragement. I hope you will be inspired and infused with the joy that comes from being responsible for a vital service. Highlights will be shared, including an insight into the depth and richness of music collections within The Louise Hanson-Dyer Music Library and tales of successful sagas resulting from exhaustive searches for material in this complex area. Library Technicians can climb any mountain and follow any dream.
