Music Reader Services Librarian Mary Dell Jenkins and Braille Music Librarian Timothy Jones will talk about the history of PMLS and about the lead sheet format, what it is, and how to read it. During the presentation, questions can be submitted through the online chat. A question-and-answer will follow.
