Proudly Cincinnati: Karin Pendle

While working with colleague Melinda Boyd on the second edition of her book, Women in Music: A Research and Information Guide, Karin Pendle, UC Music Professor Emerita of Musicology, relied heavily on the resources and services of the Albino Gorno Memorial Music (CCM) Library. “As so often in the past, the CCM Library proved to be an invaluable resource—in fact, we could not have accomplished our work without the assistance of Head of the CCM Library Mark Palkovic and his staff, and the privilege of working in a library that included so much information on women’s work in music,” Dr. Pendle said.

A library supporter and frequent patron of the CCM Library, Dr. Pendle recently wrote to former students inviting them to consider making a gift to the CCM Library: “I am sure the CCM Library has contributed greatly to your work, too. Maybe you remember the ‘light bulb’ moments that came to you as you consulted library materials, or appreciated the chance to browse the latest periodicals, or listen to your favorite performers in CCM’s growing CD collection. The library was there for you throughout your years at CCM, just as it was there for us as we worked on our book.”

Dr. Pendle’s fundraising effort will assist in updating the furnishings and equipment for the CCM Library when it moves in December from its current location on the fourth floor of Blegen Library to the sixth floor. Naming opportunities for significant donations to the CCM Library include the public service desk area, the foyer, the reading room, and the library classroom.

To contribute to the CCM Library Improvement Fund or another library fund, please use the donation envelope enclosed in Source or contact Margaret W. Wolf, CFRE, Director of Development, at (513)556-0055 or peggy.wolf@uc.edu.

As Dr. Pendle wrote: “contributions to the campaign will help renovate this attractive new library area for the benefit of CCM’s current and future students and faculty.”
