Listening & Viewing Stations<\/h3>\n

\"\"\u00a0In addition to our computers, four (4) of which feature ProTools digital audio workstation licenses for student use, the Music Library also has listening stations that allow patrons to listen to CDs, LPs and VHS tapes. These listening and viewing stations are located on the lower level. There are two standalone record players, one combo CD\/LP player, and two VHS\/DVD\/Blu-Ray players. Patrons can check out headphones at the circulation desk or use their own.<\/p>\n

CD, DVD, LP, and VHS Collections<\/a><\/h3>\n

The Music Library has a collection of approximately 5,000 LPs, over 10,000 CDs, over 100 DVDs, and 140 VHS videos. All can be located in the CUNY Catalog. Circulating CDs (indicated by \u201cCirc CD\u201d in front of the call number) circulate for seven days, while non-circulating recordings (e.g. recordings on reserve, DVDs, and VHS tapes) can only be used in the Music Library. To check out recordings, take the call numbers of the recordings you want and a valid ID to the circulation desk. You can also check out headphones to listen to or view non-circulating recordings in our media center\/listening area.<\/p>\n
