what does the comm do? (Librarian)

Like the Treasurer who you go to for money, the Librarian is the boss when it comes to matters regarding scores. Besides typing in scores and ensuring that all members have their scores, the librarian has other projects (which many of us don't know about) running in the background.

What does the Librarian do?
  • Keep track of the scores
  • Supply player with scores
  • Manage the library
  • Ensure conductors/tutors has the scores
  • Search for scores which conductor/CM request
  • Rehearsal recordings/video recordings
  • Photography & Videography for events
The current ongoing projects of our librarian:
- Compiling GENUS' audio library (past genus performances, cds+dvds)
- Cataloging of scores
- Loaning of scores
- Digitalising of scores (optional and other genus members can chip in)
The librarian works together with the CM when it comes to choosing repertoire for performances as nobody knows our library better than the librarian!
In case the juniors do not know, besides containing ensemble scores, our library also contains many small group pieces. (Of course, arranging your own item is also highly encouraged! ^^) When LPG comes around once again, do ask the librarian for permission to look through this treasure trove of scores :D Don't mess it up though, or you'll have an irate librarian on your back.

This entry is part of the What does the Comm do? series.
