Music Libraries

Mickel Library 

The holdings of the Music Library are of three types: 

1. Recordings, scores, videos, and books which circulate out of the library. 
2. Recordings, scores, videos, and books which are put on Reserve from term to term at the main circulation desk and are subject to the special circulation and fine regulations which govern all materials on reserve; 
3. Periodicals and those materials which are classified in the Reference section, which do not ordinarily circulate out of the building. 

The following rules apply to the music collection in Mickel Library: 

1. The circulation period for a book or score not on Reference or Reserve is three weeks. It may be renewed once unless there is another request for it. 
2. The circulation period for a recording not on Reference or Reserve is three weeks. It may be renewed once unless there is another request for it. 
3. Overdue Items and Fines 
   1. Fines accrue at twenty-five cents per item per day. 
   2. If an overdue item is not returned by the first day of final examinations, the holder is billed through the Accounting Office for the price of the material plus a processing charge. Grades will be withheld until all obligations to the library are met. 
4. Defacing of library materials can result in a fine and in the payment of replacement costs. In the event of rare editions being ruined or badly damaged, the penalty can be the closing of the library to the offender. 
5. No student may use another student’s or a faculty member’s library card to check out library materials. 

Ensemble Libraries 

The orchestral, wind ensemble, and choral libraries housed in Blackman Music Building Room 107 do not circulate and may be used only with the permission of the director of the organization involved.
