These monthly, informal, agenda-free meetings provide a platform for you to talk with other directors about topics on your radar and/or updates from your library. CARLI usually provides updates as well. CARLI rotates the meetings (day of the week, time of day) to accommodate busy calendars. We do our best to avoid conferences, holidays, and other conflicts. Please let me know about times/days that never work for you. If you cannot attend, you may send a representative. We look forward to seeing you all for conversation and updates!

Check your CARLI Governing Directors email for connection information.

The meetings are recorded. The link to the recording will be sent via the CARLI Governing Directors email list as soon as it is available and can be viewed for 30 days after the meeting.

Wed, Jul 8, 2026 / 1:00pm to 2:30pm

The University of Illinois’ Sousa Archives and Center for American Music is both a special collections music archives and museum whose historical collections document diverse music cultures, legacies, and technologies in North, Central, and South America as well as portions of Europe, Africa, and Asia.  Our collections are meant to be actively engaged by people of all ages and music backgrounds and abilities.  Our philosophy is grounded in providing access to our music collections using all available resources and technologies to enable our visitors to engage with our collections physically, intellectually, and actively.

This philosophy for archives and museums might seem obvious to librarians.  However, many archives and museums’ music collections frequently remain silent, dead, and forgotten.  The music and instrument’s voices no longer speak for themselves because they are either carefully exhibited behind glass or preserved in specialized storage cabinets as music paperweights until discovered and explored by specialized music scholars. 

Today’s technologies hold much promise for archives and museum’s music collections because these digital resources and tools now make it possible for scholarly researchers and the public to actively engage with these unique historical collections both on-site and online from anywhere in the world.  In this presentation, Scott Schwartz will highlight how the Sousa Archives approaches on-site and online public engagement to its music collections using some of today’s digital technologies. 

This is the fourth webinar of the summer Digital Possibilities webinar series, a CARLI and FLVC joint collaboration.

Presenter: 

Scott W. Schwartz is the Director and Archivist for Music and Fine Arts for the Sousa Archives and Center for American Music at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  Prior to his arrival to Illinois in September 2003, he worked as an archivist for the Duke Ellington and American music collections at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History.  In 2022 he was recognized by the American Bandmasters Association with the Edwin Franko Goldman Citation award for his contributions to the preservation of America’s wind band traditions.  Previous recipients of the Goldman citation include composer Meredith Willson of The Music Man (1964), leading Sousa scholar Paul Bierley (1974) and John Philip Sousa III (1989), President William Jefferson Clinton (1994), University of Illinois alumnus John Haynie (2007), and composer John Williams (2020).
