The MLA Citation, the Association's tribute for lifetime achievement, is awarded in recognition of distinguished service to music librarianship over a career. Citation recipients become Honorary Members of the Music Library Association.
2018: Geraldine Ostrove
In recognition of her career-long contributions, specifically in clarifying the complex nature and application of music subject headings, as well as the separate treatment of music form and genre in subject cataloging, the Music Library Association is pleased to confer upon Geraldine (“Gerry”) E. Ostrove, the MLA Citation.
2017: Morris Martin
Having served as MLA Newsletter editor and as one of the founders of MLA’s Texas Chapter, he was also active in the organization’s efforts to promote education for music librarianship. Recognizing the profound impact he has had on so many people over forty years as librarian, teacher, colleague, friend, as well as supporter of MLA and our profession, the Music Library Association is pleased to confer upon Morris Martin the MLA Citation."
2016: David Gilbert
An enthusiast of French music, he has edited and written prefaces for new editions of scores and provided pre-concert talks for an engaged public. A tireless advocate for new librarians and diversity in the profession, he has mentored both music and library school students and helped launch the ARL/MLA Diversity & Inclusion Initiative. Attentive to his patrons and professionally generous to his fellow music librarians, his quiet yet consistent support has made a lasting impact on music librarianship and the future of the Music Library Association. The Music Library Association is pleased to confer upon David Gilbert the MLA Citation."
