The Music Library branch of the Mack Library is located on the first floor of the Gustafson Fine Arts Center. This new location was incorporated into the renovation and construction of the Fine Arts Center in 1999 and increased the Music Library's space to over 3,500 square feet. The new library facilities incorporate modern technology and listening equipment, as well as an inviting space where patrons can engage and connect through music.
The Music Library houses the bulk of the library's resources for music: books, scores, audio recordings, periodicals, and reference materials. Currently, the collection includes 7,304 volumes, 14,276 scores and sheet music, 717 DVDs, and 26 BluRays. In addition to 213 ebooks, the Music Library website offers students and faculty full text access to 204 music related periodicals (ejournals), 67 of which directly support the Fine Arts Music Department and are featured as a tab on the webpage. Computers accommodate patrons researching musical works.
There are no facilities in the Music Library for recording purposes. Stations are available to view DVD/Blu-Ray/VHS media as well as a dedicated CD player.
Computers are available for checking e-mail, and browsing the internet. Preference is given to university students. Students/Faculty/Staff may print from Music Library computers as well as community customers who have a library card with an established PaperCut account. Photocopy machine access is restricted to customers who have a PaperCut account.
Two Yamaha Clavinova pianos with headphones are available for composition and piano pedagogy students for a quick play-through or sampling of music. Preference is given to university students.
There are charging stations at each of the study tables in the Music Library.
