Finding Music Materials in the Music Library

By its very nature music can be a challenge to find in any organized space, not just the music library.  The Library has two guides that we hope will help make your searches for music in our library easier and more often successful. In the menu of our Library Guides they are Finding Music Materials and How to Use Online Catalog.

And as always, feel free to ask our library staff for assistance whenever you have a question or for help finding anything you need or are looking for in our Library.
