Lots of books to browse





and two cases full as well!

Need help in the stacks? We've got your answer right here!

Greetings on a snowy Friday afternoon... I wanted to let you all know that we've made a bit of change to the stacks this week. Well, not the materials shelved there, but the ends of the ranges of shelves themselves. We've put up posters that will help you browse the shelves for what you're looking for. My friends and colleagues at Bowling Green State University created these posters and shared the files with all of us in MLA-land. I've adapted them a bit to fit our stacks and posted them.


Five in all

Collected Works, Solo, and Chamber Music (M1-M900)




Large Ensembles - Orchestral and Band Music (M1000-M1400)

I'd like to thank Lisa Sutton in AGSL for printing them in the large size and Beth Traylor for laminating them for us!

Curriculum Library display for African American History Month

African American History IS U.S. History is the theme of the display in Curriculum this month...

Music in the Libraries

The Music Library display cases, along with one of the cases in the Libraries' Grind, are filled with a sample of the rich resources you'll find in the Music Library. We kicked off the display with some Music in the Grind. The UWM Institute for Chamber Music Studies String Quartet played some Mozart from 12-12:30 on Thursday, 2 February.





We had a good crowd of people listening too!




The display cases include CDs, sheetmusic, books, scores, LPs... come take a look and take something away with you!
