Online Music Databases

Did you know that the UVU Library offers several online tools for music researchers? All of the following databases can be access from the Library's complete list of databases.

Classical Scores Library

The Classical Scores Library offers access to a growing collection of scores and libretti for operas, symphonies, sonatas, and many more. You can locate scores and libretti by composer, instrument, time period, key, and genre. 

Scores are for individual use only, and not for performance.

Grove Music Online

Grove Music Online contains the full text version of three important music reference books. It is best used to locate biographical and background information on musicians, instruments, music history, and more. Articles are thoroughly documented.

International Index to Music Periodicals

The IIMP is a terrific source for research about music and music instruction. It contains full text for many of the journals and magazines (though not all) that it indexes. It includes both peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed articles.

Naxos Music Library

The Naxos Music Library is a unique resource that allows you to listen to (but not download) complete works of classical music. 

For help using Naxos Music Library in classes, please contact the Reference Desk at x8840.

If you have any questions about locating scores, recordings, or research about music, please contact our music librarian, Keith Rowley, at x8780. 

Media Equipment Available for Check Out

Need to update your camera?
Check one out from us!

Did you know that the Library has equipment like still and video cameras, microphones, laptops, and projectors available for check out?

We've been growing our collection of media equipment since we opened the new Library in July 2008. Our current collection is divided into smaller collections for students, digital media students, and faculty.

Media equipment may be checked out for four hours at a time, but cannot be checked out over night. Faculty can arrange for a longer check out time and off-campus check out with Tony Jaskowick, our media equipment manager.

For more information about media equipment, contact Tony Jaskowick at x8675 or view our media equipment policy page.

I Love the Library Week

Today kicks off I Love the Library Week.

During the next five days, we will offer all comers a chance to spin the prize wheel between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Prizes include fine waivers and Library swag like pencils and T-shirts.

On our Facebook page we will post images from our history, from our earliest days to the present, in partnership with the George Sutherland Archives.

This week's display will challenge readers to take a chance on a blind date with a book.

We hope you stop by!

New Edition of The Library Connection Published

We just published a new edition of the Library's newsletter for faculty, The Library Connection. Read it online here. This month's issue features articles on how to use OneSearch, how to incorporate information literacy skills into assignments, a bibliography of books about digital media, and more!

Circulation Policies for Faculty

By Annie Smith, Reference/Instruction Librarian

The Library's circulation policies (rules about how long you can keep items you've checked out, the schedule of fines and fees, etc.) have evolved to try and make sure that everyone has equitable access to our materials.

You can find all of our circulation policies on the Library's site, on the policies page. Faculty have a few more options when it comes to checking out materials than students:

• Books check out for sixteen weeks, but cannot be renewed without re-checking them out.
• Items can be placed on reserve (physical or digital) for students to read or view.
• Proxy borrowers can be designated to check materials out for you.

If you have any questions, please contact the Circulation Department at (801) 863-8886.
