Ask a Librarian: Music Collection

The Music Collection includes thousands of audio recordings, plus access to subscription streaming resources. Music recordings cannot be browsed on the shelf, but they are listed in Search@UW. When you choose an item in Search@UW, look at the "format" description in the item details: "online resource" indicates a streaming recording, "audio disc, 4 ¾ in." means CDs, and other audio disc sizes are usually vinyl. If you locate a CD or LP recording in Search@UW, ask for it at the Media and Reserve Services desk on the lower level. Sound recordings circulate for one week to all UWM ID holders.
