How to Use This Guide

Tips about Using this Guide


Welcome to the Browsing for Music Materials Guide!

In making this guide, our intention is for music performers and researchers to quickly obtain knowledge about where to access music scores and literature related to a particular area of study. We hope this resource will guide you to quickly access call number areas of interest in the Music Library.

The UNT Libraries' Discover Catalog


The information in these guides is not all-encompassing, which means not every ensemble type or literature topic is represented — you will need to search the Discover catalog for specific title and subject inquiries or access our Overview on Library of Congress Call Numbers for Music guide.

Access More Resources with Interlibrary Loan


In cases when the UNT Libraries does not have a resource you need, submit a request with the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) department. Library staff from Interlibrary Loan will ask another library to lend the item to you— this includes music scores, books, journal articles, and sometimes, digitizations of archival music resources. Get started with ILL by accessing the Interlibrary Loan webpage to learn about the types of materials you can request and how to submit the request. If you are having trouble submitting your request, contact us via the Ask Us page.
