Susan Goeres

"Busy" and "active" are two terms that describe Music Library volunteer Susan Goeres. For over a year Susan has been regularly donating her skills and time to work with the Americana Collection, one of the library's online sheet music databases. When she is not at one of the library's computer keyboards entering data into the database, she is at a piano keyboard serving as an accompanist for area musicians, including the UW Opera with which she has been affiliated for the past four years. In addition to accompanying, Susan also freelances as a voice coach. With a degree from Northwestern's School of Music and years of experience as a school music teacher in Monroe, she is well suited for all the musical roles she plays. And when she is not at the computer, or the piano, or coaching a singer, you might find her hiking in the Rockies, in Scotland, or even in the Swiss Alps. Then again, you might find her at board meetings of the Wisconsin Youth Symphony.

Thanks, Sue for all the help you have given to the Music Library. We appreciate it greatly and are so pleased that you are able to fit us into your busy schedule!

Colin Cameron

Colin Cameron's fascination with film and entertainers dates from his youth in the 1950s -- which explains his enthusiasm for developing and installing the library's current exhibit, The Collegiate Image 1900-1960: Icons and Images in Music Covers and Memorabilia [see related article this issue]. Colin drew upon a wealth of personal knowledge in its preparation, but additional research revealed to him how sheet music represented an "intimate link between all of the arts" and how economics influenced the quality and style of the sheets.

Recently retired from his position at College of Agriculture and Life Science, Colin was previously Librarian of the Somers Graduate Reading Room and Poverty Bibliographer. He is an alumnus of the School of Library and Information Studies and a Madison resident since 1960. He describes himself as one who greatly appreciates the arts, and he is particularly fond of the mix of them in Madison. Colin has been a volunteer in the Music Library for three years, working most directly with the Popular Sheet Music Collection.

Thank you, Colin, for your interest and support of the Music Library and its collections!
