Materials do not circulate outside the library except to members of the music and Dance faculty. Students must present their permanent SDSU picture ID card and show current validation to use library equipment. Headphones and recorded materials will be issued at the time of check-in. Faculty may make one copy of a recording for class use only. The collection of recordings is organized with the purpose of serving the needs of the School's curriculum.
Emphasis is upon the listening and study requirement of the courses offered by the school.
The collection also consists of scores of standard works which can be used in conjunction with the recording. The complete music library holdings are housed in the Love Library.
