Library Locations for Music
1st Floor of Howe: Media Collections (DVDs, VHS video, CDs). Consult CATQuest for details.
Our collection of online sound recording includes the following:
1st Floor: Reference Collection. Look for call numbers beginning with M, ML & MT. Please note the Library Use Only status of these books.
2nd Floor: Periodicals, Microfilm and -fiche. Current issues (less than 1 yr. old) of periodicals are filed separately from back issues.
3rd Floor: Music scores, biography (ML410), history, theory, instruction, and more. Many scores are shelved as QUARTO volumes (oversized), so if you're browsing be sure not to miss this section.
Note: If we don't have what you're looking for, we can usually order it or borrow it from another library. Click on Library Links (left column) to learn more about either of these options.
