Browsing the Music Collection

Have you checked out our music collection lately? In case you hadn't noticed we've been working on a longer-than-we-expected project to change the way our CDs are classified and shelved. And we're almost DONE. Almost. There are NO more Dewey Decimal numbers in the music collection (ok, there's a still a handful of oversize materials -- but we're working on them!). Now you can browse the collection by genre in both the popular and classical collections. You can look for artists in POP ROCK, or maybe some new tunes from the COUNTRY, BLUES, JAZZ, REGGAE, or INTERNATIONAL genres. If you're interested in our classical music collection, you can browse for your favorite composers in CHAMBER, ORCHESTRAL, VOCAL, SYMPHONY,  or PIANO categories (for a complete list of music genre categories please ask staff at the AV Desk). Our goal is to make things more intuitive and easier to find AND also make the collection more friendly for browsing and discovery. Did I mention we we're almost done? The library catalog will still point you in the direction of that specific item you're looking for (by genre, then artist/composer) and we're always happy to help you locate it on the shelf at the AV desk, so consider stopping by today and checking out some new music!
