ICEPOPS
We are delighted to announce that the Icepops 2019 call for contributions is now open. The conference is taking place on 26th June 2019 at the University of Edinburgh and you have from now until the 4th February to come up with an idea for your presentation.
We are looking for speakers on all aspects of copyright education from a variety of different perspectives. Last year we attracted expert speakers from educational & cultural institutions, publishing houses and government departments as well as an impressive number of international delegates. Our first keynote this year is composer, publisher and scholar Simon Anderson, who will be opening the conference with a musical theme. We particularly welcome sessions that might compliment this. However, we also retain the playful learning theme from last year and our afternoon keynote, the award-winning Charlie Farley from the University of Edinburgh will be leading an interactive workshop.
We would like to encourage presenters to address one of the themes of this year’s conference:
– Universal Copyright Literacy: bridging the gaps between lawyers, IP teachers, specialists and copyright muggles
– Engaging and creative approaches to copyright education including using games, music and performance
– Copyright education as part of digital and information literacy initiatives
– Copyright education in the cultural heritage sector
– Teaching copyright as part of scholarly and open practices
However, we wouldn’t want you to feel constrained if you have a great idea relating to copyright literacy that doesn’t fit 100% into any of the above. Please just let us know and we’ll see if it fits in the programme.
I am a Performing Arts Librarian 3.5 days a week, and a Postdoctoral Researcher 1.5 days a week. In this self-imposed annual review, I’m not listing routine activities conducted in either capacity; it goes without saying that I’ve answered queries, catalogued, delivered library research training to a number of different class groups, attended meetings, and pursued research-related activities and fieldwork.

from 1821, the year of George IV’s coronation, and with a hole pierced in it by a previous owner so that it could be worn on a ribbon. As of course I already am!)
Now safely back from the IAML Congress at Leipzig, I have to get back into harness at the workplace tomorrow. I gave my paper about our CFSH network on Thursday afternoon – well-attended, and well-received. It was a good week – plenty of interesting papers with a music library focus. The story of Peters (the publisher) music library was particularly fascinating, to name but one. During the week, one couldn’t help reflecting how often politics and wars have divided, relocated or destroyed precious collections. The Peters collection became Hinrichsen, then Peters again, was in state and then private and then state hands … a complex narrative, to be sure.
I attended a seminar about the mechanics of entering an original source on RISM, and heard an update about RILM. I also fell in love with a digital music app, visited the National Library, saw Bach’s Thomaskirche and attended three concerts. All in baking heat – on my final night, it was 33 degrees at 11 pm!
The Claimed From Stationers’ Hall research network, whilst very well-represented in Scotland, is not actually focused on Scottish music. Nonetheless, we’re sharing this conference booking announcement for anyone who is working in that area.
I returned from New Zealand yesterday morning. If you’d like to read about the University of Otago’s Centre for Book Research Seminar and the UNESCO Creative Cities Southern Hui, please
