Searching via Library Online Catalog
Click the Online Catalog button on our website at https://www.reinhardt.edu/library/
The Advanced Search will open in a new window and is recommended if you don’t know the exact title of the item for which you are searching. if you want to search for a phrase such as “four part chorales”, click the drop down menu in the middle and select as a phrase. You may also wish to select Author in the drop-down menu on the right side for a specific composer or leave it as Keyword Anywhere.
Browsing in the library
Music books and scores are located on the 2nd floor of the library on both sides of the service desk. There are three Library of Congress call number headings for music you’ll want to remember if you like to browse: M, ML, and MT.
The easy way to remember them is:
M = Music (Scores)
ML = Music Literature
MT = Music Theory
Within these three they become more specific, of course. Fortunately, our library catalog is accessible online on any device which makes browsing upstairs so much easier!
You may check out books for three weeks at a time and media items for one week at a time. There are overdue fines if materials are returned late: books are 5 cents a day per book; $1 a day per media item. Fines accrue daily to a maximum amount of $10 per item. Renew your items online, over the phone, or in person to avoid overdue fines.
We have many amazing electronic resources containing scores, tracks, videos, research, and more for music majors that are accessible anytime, anywhere (on

If you have any issues accessing the library off campus, please contact us.
Which is better, a book or an article?
A book may take a year or longer to be published, and by the time it is on a library shelf could very well contain obsolete information. Newspapers, magazines, and journals are published monthly, weekly, or as often as daily. The information is fresher and therefore more reliable. However, for an overview of the plants or animals in a region, biography or an historical event, a book may provide a more complete picture.
Why can't I just use Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is a great place for general information, however doing academic research in a college setting provides more than Wikipedia could provide. It is also open to editing by anyone, so you cannot trust what is on a Wikipedia entry since you don't know who the author really is or what their credentials are.
Need help citing your sources in APA or MLA style. Check out the Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab) website for tips on using various style manuals when citing sources for your papers and projects.
