Hi, Music librarians generally refer to the Music Library Association's web site (http://musiclibraryassoc.org/), which is relatively up-to- date and has myriad resources. Also, the association's email list (mla- l) is still a forum for active communication. MLA has many student members, and I think most instructors who teach music librarianship encourage their students to subscribe to the list.
