Scope and content
Subseries consists of videos from the virtual "Music Collection Assessment Summit," hosted by the University of Toronto Music Library over three days (April 21-April 23, 2021). Over the course of the summit, the U of T Music Library and five partner institutions (Eastman School of Music; Harvard University; Indiana University Bloomington; University of California, Los Angeles; Yale University) explored the challenging world of music score collection assessment. Each of the six participating institutions provided pre-recorded sessions and a virtual tour. Attendees watched the sessions ahead of time, then joined the live sessions for a question and answer period with the presenters. The breakout room discussions on Friday, April 23 were based on themes chosen by the attendees. There was also a bonus virtual tour of the extensive music collections at Toronto Public Library.
