More about the Music Library
How to find material
All the Music Library's books, scores, CDs, audio and video cassettes, and DVDs are cataloged in MNCAT and are searchable via computer from either on- or off-campus (www.lib.umn.edu ). Most LPs, however, are not in the computer catalog and must be accessed via a card catalog in the library.
Items in MNCAT that have an "in process" designation have been received in the cataloging department of Wilson Library but have not yet been delivered to the Music Library and cannot be checked out. You may request that an "in process" item be "rush cataloged." NB: "In process" scores usually need to be sent first to the bindery, which requires more time before delivery to the Music Library. Use our Rush Catalog Request Form to request any such items.
Listening and Viewing Stations
There are 18 CD players, 11 Audiocassette players, 8 turntables, 4 video stations with both VHS and DVD players, and 5 computer stations to listen to Web-based audio streaming services. Most of the listening stations and all the viewing stations have amplifiers with separate volume controls for up to 5 different sets of earphones.
