The Music Collection, comprising over 110,000 books and scores and 32,000 audio and video recordings, supports Music Department programs in music history, music theory, ethnomusicology, and composition. Its traditional strength has been in books about music history and scholarly editions of music. In recent years, greater emphasis has been placed on collecting materials for the study of non-western music and music theory, as well as scores of recent music. The founding of the Chicago Jazz Archive as part of the Library in 1976 prompted the development of a strong collection of books on jazz and the sociology of popular music. Most of the music collection, including the Recordings Collection and most of the library's listening and viewing equipment, can be found on the third floor of Regenstein Library, but some materials and facilities are in other locations. If you need help finding music in the library, music reference staff are available weekdays 9am-5pm in the third-floor office cluster. |
