Facilities

The Music Library collection includes books, scores, music periodicals, sound and video recordings, and microforms. Most items are normally available for checkout, and the Music Library has equipment for listening to or viewing any item in the collection. Our Listening Room boasts 16 multimedia carrels, each capable of accommodating multiple patrons, with additional carrels and seating located in the catalog area.

From the eight workstations in the catalog area and two in the stacks, patrons can access the University of Northern Colorado Libraries' online catalog, The Source, as well as other databases useful to music and general research. All of the public workstations are also configured to connect to the World Wide Web for research use.

The library is also equipped with two facilities for instruction and study purposes. 

The Media Classroom is available for library instruction as well as sessions of classes in the College of Performing and Visual Arts with special equipment needs. Equipment includes a complete sound and video system, an instructor computer workstation, and a projection system capable of displaying images from these units as well as from a transparency/opaque image projector.  The room also accommodates 50 students, 18 of them at student computer workstations. 

The Media Classroom is also open evenings during the regular semesters and the main summer session as a computer lab for student use. Use the following links for more information about computer lab hours.

The McMillen Conference Room also has sound and video equipment, as well as Internet connectivity. It seats 14 and is intended for seminar sessions, PVA-related meetings, and student group study.

Anyone desiring to use either of the rooms is welcome to contact any member of the Music Library staff for information and reservations.
Please note that all reservation requests must be made at least one day in advance.  

In addition, there are several quiet study areas, study carrells, and small alcoves  for students to use on a first-come first-serve basis.

Featured on the north wall of the computer commons is a mosaic mural designed and created by Darrell Anderson, the same artist that designed part of a mosaic inlaid floor at Denver International Airport.
