Any Librarian followers able to suggest a good online sheet music resource that covers Musical Scores?

An ‘ultracrepidarian’ (19th century) is one who loves to give their opinion, at length, on matters they know nothing about.

Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove books, as influence of US pressure groups spreads
Librarians in UK increasingly asked to remove books, as influence of US pressure groups spreads
Anecdotal evidence suggests a rise in requests to take books off shelves, particularly LGBTQ+ titles
Requests to remove books from library shelves are on the rise in the UK, as the influence of pressure groups behind book bans in the US crosses the Atlantic, according to those working in the sector.
Although “the situation here is nowhere [near] as bad, censorship does happen and there are some deeply worrying examples of library professionals losing their jobs and being trolled online for standing up for intellectual freedom on behalf of their users”, said Louis Coiffait-Gunn, CEO of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (Cilip).

I cannot understand this decision. Universities are struggling to fund resources as it is - the risks associated with signing up to a subscription deal are enormous at the moment.
A post on the awful new strategic direction of Clarivate
It will erode #Libraries offer, limit services, & fix the already broken ebook market into permanent "R&P" type arrangements
Bad for the #Library, bad for students, bad for academics, great for shareholders

Since living alone, the cat has worked out that meowing in the night doesn't get my attention.
Instead, I get pawed in the face followed by her flicking the pages of the books on the bedside table.
The cat has adapted and found the weak spot of the librarian. She's an evil genius.

Yesterday I went from not putting my camera on in a meeting as my laptop was on the wonk and it looked like I was floating from the ceiling-to explaining the intricacies of library cataloguing and acquisitions to a customer service excellence assessor.

The Resistance will depend on public libraries for everything from organizing sessions to triage and first aid. Mark my words. Let’s not let the libraries die before democracy. Here’s Baltimore’s Enoch Pratt Free Library flagship. I grew up taking back books late.

Ironically, most penguins aren't aware that today is Penguin Awareness Day and they think it's just a regular Monday. The reason for this, of course is that they refused to adopt the new Gregorian calendar in 1582, and still adhere to the old Julian one, for tax purposes.
