UNO Catalog
Use the UNO Library's online catalog to locate books in the library. Putting the composer or musician's name in the subject field (last name, first name) will retrieve books that are primarily about that person. You can also search by keyword to search all of the information in the catalog records, for any reference to person, song, or topic.
You can also use the UNO Library's online catalog to find scores in the Library. Search by author (composer) and/or title and select "Music Scores Only" from the pull-down menu labeled "Everything" to limit your search to scores.
Electronic books are also included in the catalog. You can limit your search to e-books by selecting “E-Books Only” from the “Everything” pull-down menu. To see an e-book from the catalog, just click on the URL in the record to access an electronic version of a book (login required for off-campus access).
