Q. Does the library have music for students to borrow?

Recorded music is available in the library's CD collection and through the following databases:

• Music Online : Classical Music in Video
  • Music Online features influential performances and documentaries that highlight classical music’s evolution across eras, from canonical masters to contemporary composers.
• Naxos Music Library
