Welcome to the Music Library Guide

How to find scores in library catalogs

Whether you search the library catalog (above) or use universal borrowing (UB, below), use these basic tips to find the scores or recordings that you want.

In the search box use the name of the composer, type of composition, instrument(s), title, key, and any identifying number, like an opus number, a K. number for Mozart or  BWV for Bach. 

If looking for scores, you can also add the word "score" to the search terms; for CDs or albums, use "recording".  Read through the results carefully to see if the item you want is listed, and in the desired format. 

The catalog and UB also have an Advanced search option that provides more options for refining your search.   

If you cannot find desired music in the catalog or UB, then use World Cat and the Interlibrary Loan option below to borrow it from outside the UW System libraries.

Films on Demand
