Winthrop University Music Library
Professor Jennifer L. McDaniel-Milliken, Music Librarian
General Information
 |
The Music Library, located in MCLA-334, serves primarily the Department of Music, but is open to the entire Winthrop community. Its collection consists of approximately 15,000 items which are primarily scores, recordings, and videos of classical music and jazz. It also holds basic reference works in music and a variety of computer programs and CD-ROMs for the study of music theory and history. Materials may be checked out for 3-day or 2-week periods, but in-house facilities for listening or viewing are also available. |
Most books and periodicals about music are housed in the University’s Dacus Library. Holdings in both libraries may be searched through DOC [Dacus Online Catalog] from any computer connected to the University’s central computer cluster, though some titles in the music library can presently be found only through its card catalog.
