"Ouverte en octobre 1989, la Médiathèque a progressivement constitué ses collections et conquis son public.
"Fin 97, la Médiathèque compte 44 000 documents dont 35 000 livres, 6 000 disques compacts, 2 400 vidéocassettes et 180 cédéroms. A quoi il faut ajouter 110 abonnements à des revues et périodiques. Toujours pour l'’anée 97, 3 998 cartes de lecteurs ont été délivrées et 130 000 prêts effectués."

Merci d'avance.
Note: August 11, 2004 -- not having heard back from anyone who really knew anything for certain... The only vestige I now can locate online, of this very valuable but very enormous project -- perhaps that was the problem (?) -- is the following: (still available as of September 4, 2008)
"Ce catalogue contient les 53.901 références bibliographiques issues de la base de données du Catalogue Collectif des Ouvrages réalisé par le CNRS entre 1989 et 2001 en France. Les notices bibliographiques ont été produites par plusieurs Centre de Documentation et Bibliothèques :
-- sounds like a burial and post-mortem... Nevertheless, at the very least for history's sake -- for the time when the Digital Revolution finally settles down, and wakes up, and discovers that it has a history, and that it just might want to study that, perhaps to gloat a little but perhaps also to learn something about itself -- I do hope that they preserve this.

"The Conservatoire de Lyon has a library of great wealth. It plays an important role in the curriculum of the students and is an essential educational tool for teachers. It is also an invaluable resource for musicians in general, amateurs and professionals, as well as researchers in musicology.
"60% of the collections are made up of donations from musicians and patrons from Lyon (Ennemond Trillat -1890-1980-, Léon Vallas -1879-1956-, Henry de Chaponay, Ninon Vallin -1886-1961-, Henri Dumoulin, etc.) and are distributed in four main areas, library, disk library and the reserves.
"In total, 73,000 items are available on loan or for on-site consultation.
"The Library provides loan and consultation services. It proposes 45 000 music scores, 6 000 books and music encyclopaedias, and 2 000 periodicals. Nearly 15 000 music scores are available on loan. The library also has a treasured collection of instrumental and vocal scores of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
"Borrowing is free for students and teachers of the Conservatoire.
"The Disk Library provides a listening and reading room in which 10,300 CDs, 1,500 LPs, 50 DVDs and 500 books are made available.
"This section has recently been enriched by several gifts and legacies of classical music and jazz music, the music critic Ferruccio Nuzzo, Lyon researcher and jazz record collector Yves-Alain Aimé Fournier (1945-2006), Roger Accart (1920-2007) founder and patron of "Musique du temps" and Anne-Marie Lamy, former professor of piano at the Conservatoire."

Some history and description of the conservatoire: [verbatim from the website, see link below] --
"The Conservatoire de Lyon was founded in 1872 under the driving force of Mr. Mangin, the then orchestral conductor of the Grand Théâtre de Lyon.
"Today classed as a Regional Conservatory, the Conservatoire de Lyon provides vocal, instrumental, dance and theatrical teaching to some 2,900 students and offers over 40 artistic disciplines. Two types of schooling are possible: a traditional program in addition to regular school hours or integrated in class timetables.
"Relying on a teaching staff of 190, the Conservatoire aims to give everyone the artistic means and techniques to best achieve ones personal goals, whether that be, to master ones performance at an amateur level or to prepare a professional career. With a policy of decentralization in place for many years, it caters for a large number of children in the City of Lyon and its hinterland: each year 15 000 Lyon schoolchildren profit from an artistic initiation proposed by professors of the Conservatoire who intervene in their establishments.
"Present in 7 arrondisements (adminstrative sections of the city), the Conservatoire promotes a policy of decentralization and proximity to the various sections of the city through, cultural centres, social centres, town halls, schools.
"It is further intended to cater for young people who, having completed their course in a local school, wish to further their artistic studies.
"An essential element of its teaching practice, in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the Ministry of Culture, is to train amateur dancers, musicians, and singers refining their talents. The Conservatoire therefore encourages a broad approach to the arts and gives great prominence to group projects. Many presentations contribute to these actions, thanks in part to a rich partnership with other cultural centres in the town, and with other comparable institutions in France and abroad."

"The Médiathèque Nadia Boulanger of the Conservatoire national supérieur musique et danse de Lyon occupies beautiful space in what formerly was the library of the Ecole vétérinaire.
"Established in 1980, the médiathèque at its origin held only the documents of the Nadia Boulanger Collection. Over only a quarter-century the collections have grown considerably: the médiathèque today manages nearly 80,000 documents using an online catalog accessible on the premises or at a distance via the Internet.
"The Médiathèque Nadia Boulanger is a resource center both for the needs of music teaching and for the needs of research, it welcomes students, professors, musicologists, and researchers.
"Some statistics --
"Entire Collection:
"of which, by number of copies :
"Available for lending: 45,447 copies

Some history and description of the conservatoire: [tr. JK]
"The Conservatoire national supérieur musique et danse de Lyon was established in 1980.
"Administered by the Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, the CNSMD de Lyon is an 'établissement public à caractère administratif'. It is managed by a conseil d'administration, the president of which is named by the Ministère. The establishment is the responsibility of the directeur du conservatoire assisted by a directeur-adjoint à compétence administrative, a directeur des études musicales, a directeur des études chorégraphiques and a conseil d'orientation pédagogique.
"The teaching staff consists of 180 professors, assistants, and accompagnateurs. The administrative and technical staff is composed of 65 persons. Current students include 500 musicians and 80 dancers. Foreign students are 15% of the current total.
"A public season of nearly 300 performances is an integral part of the teaching program, and allows the school to enrich the talent and the work of its students, professors and invited artists. The partners of the Conservatoire provide the students with professional opportunities. The CNSMD de Lyon is a member of a network of over 40 establishments of higher learning participating in the Socrates / Erasmus system of exchanges, and it also is expanding its projects with institutions outside of Europe. It benefits, for these projects and those of its students, from the contributions of SACEM, ADAMI, SPEDIDAM and the Mécénat Musical Société Générale."
"Son fonds, spécialisé en Astronomie et Astrophysique, est constitué de 22000 volumes de monographies, de collections
de périodiques et de publications d'observatoires, auxquels il convient d'ajouter des atlas du ciel, des diapositives
ainsi que des CD-Roms."
