MUS 381: Reference and Research Materials in Music

Browsing the collection is a great way to explore a new field.

To enter browse mode, click the BROWSE button in the top menu bar on any page.

Note:  The Browse function works only in the Library Catalog (local records).  It doesn't apply with Articles & More.  Browse searches across all library locations. 

• Title: see titles that are adjacent to one another alphabetically, or that contain the same word or phrase.
• Name: search by personal/corporate name(s) that are authors or subjects, for example Rowling, J.K. (author) and Rowling, J.K. Characters (subject heading).
• Series:  title and number.
• Subjects: enter a subject heading and view similar or associated subject headings.  (This category excludes personal and corporate names as subjects; browse these under Name instead.)
• Call Number: enter a call number and view adjacent call numbers, which can replicate shelf browsing. (It's not possible to browse within a particular library location, however - all locations across the LIbraries are included.)
