Music Library

Welcome

We offer an in-depth collection with traditional and digital services including online course content building and support.

Our collections are also open to area and visiting researchers for on-site use.

Located on the second floor of the Mugar Memorial Library (1966), Music's collections of books, scores, current periodicals and open reserves, are readily accessible and easy to browse during the Mugar building hours. Recordings, reference help, class reserves in physical format, as well as all items designated music storage or 'inquire at music library,' are available during staff and listening room hours.

Area Boston University alumni are encouraged to keep their library card current, and we invite our Distance Education affiliates to check Music DE advisories (from the music library home page, see link at lower right).

Borrowers are encouraged to establish a PIN and library account when you next visit. You'll then be able to view your account, perform online renewal, and receive advance notice of dates for items due for return.

Our music library graduate student staff, undergraduate student staff and permanent staff will gladly cover additional logistics and essentials in orientations lasting about twenty minutes. The head and and assistant head also welcome the opportunity to collaborate on more extended work with classes as well.

Finally, we thank our friends and donors; please drop by when you are next in the area.
