Biography
Kathleen McMorrow headed the Music Library from 1974 to 2013, with particular responsibilities for building the recordings collections and special collections. During her tenure, the Library holdings increased from about 100,000 to nearly 500,000, and were moved into a purpose-built wing of the Edward Johnson Building.
She has contributed articles to Notes (MLA) and to Fontes (IAML), and edited the Canadian Association of Music Libraries Newsletter for ten years. She has taught courses in music librarianship in the Faculty of Library and Information Science, and been an executive member of several professional organizations. As an associate of the Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals project, she has prepared four Canadian titles for publication in this e-resource. She was awarded the Helmut Kallmann prize of the Canadian Association of Music Libraries in 2006.
Since 2015 she has overseen the website of the Women's Musical Club of Toronto (WMCT).
