It will show you how to find music scores and recordings in the OSU Library.  It will also cover the Library's music audio and to listen to online recordings and databases to access online music scores (that can be printed out).  It will also point you to online resources for music research using reference e-book and journal article databases.

To access the online Library resources, you will need to log in with your O-Key email address/userID and password.

Books about music in the Dewey Decimal Classification System we use at OSU are located in the 780s on the 4th floor of the Edmon Low Library.  Music scores are shelved along with books on music, though some scores are oversized books (quartos) shelved in the Lower Level.  Recordings on CDs, DVDs, and other physical formats are mostly located in Room 105 of the Library where they also have equipment for listening.
