The General Collection includes print and non-print materials that may be checked out at Circulation Services on the lower level. The Library of Congress Classification System is used to arrange both print and non-print materials on the shelves. The collection of juvenile materials consists of selected fiction and non-fiction works in both book and audiovisual format. Although its main intent is to supplement the curriculum of the college, the collection also serves as a resource to children, parents, and interested community members. The Library maintains a large collection of musical recordings in both long playing and compact disc formats.
Major emphasis is on classical recordings of opera, symphonies, chamber music, and jazz.
Selected popular music, soundtracks, and musicals are also available. You may listen to the items on the equipment provided in the area or check them out at Circulation Services on the lower level. The Library's collection of musical scores is located in the M section of the General Collection. This collection compliments the learning which occurs in the Natural Sciences laboratories. Various models are on display for viewing.
