About Pia Shekhter

I work at the Music and Drama Library, Gothenburg University Library. The principal aim of the library is to support the education and research at the Academy of Music and Drama in “Artisten”. The library is also open to other students and employees within the Gothenburg University and to the general public.

The library collections comprise around 600 linear metres of printed music, records and videos as well as literature and printed journals that are primarily about music and theatre. There is also a large collection of plays. The University Library provides access to many important online databases and electronic journals, such as RILM, Oxford music online (including Grove) and Music Online (several databases from Alexander Street Press).

My main areas of responsibility are acquisition and interlibrary loans of printed music. In addition I am regularly on duty in the information/lending desk.
