available for view, as well as other interesting African cultural examples.
A variety of accomodations will be available at different price ranges,

Travel grants:
The New York State/Ontario Chapter will be awarding up to four grants of
$150 each toward travel expenses, to be used to attend this meeting. The
Chapter would like to gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the Board of
the Music Library Association for the award of a chapter grant enabling us
to provide this opportunity. Announcements with firm information on
applying for the travel grants will be forthcoming. Linda Blair has agreed
to chair the Travel Grants Committee which consists of Linda Blair from
Eastman's Sibley Music Library, Katy Farrell from SUNY Geneseo, and
Kristina Shanton from Ithaca College. Our sincere thanks to these three
chapter members for their willingness to serve.
We hope to see many of our NYSO members at the conference, and we welcome
all those not affiliated with NYSO as well.
