It is, however, important to note that the collections serving two of the programs mentioned electronic media and theatre are not housed in the CCM Library. The Drama section of OMDA is likewise not served by the CCM Library. Historically, the theatre and drama collection has been housed in the Langsam Library, and this program has its own bibliographer. There are approximately 1375 students, of which 700 are undergraduate students and 675 are graduate students.
Graduate students are by far the heaviest library users, however.
Total checkouts are 41,100 annually. Total renewals are 15,500. Another 20,000 are used in-house annually. The library s holdings and staffing are an important part of the accreditation process. Therefore, collection development policies are primarily focused on materials needed in performance preparation scores, recordings, and videos.
