Where are recordings located in the library?

Locations and call numbers

Commercially-produced compacts discs and Stetson recital recordings are all housed behind the Circulation Desk.  Ask for them by call number. Commercially-produced CDs have call numbers beginning with CDISC, such as CDISC 437.  Stetson recitals use call numbers reflecting date of performance, such as 2008APR02 (year, month, and day of month).  If there are multiple recitals on a single date, that is usually reflected with letters, e.g., 2008APR02B, etc.

Vinyl records are on the shelves on the main floor, near the scores and books about music. Record call numbers begin with REC followed by a number.  They are shelved in numerical order.
