This robust information tool includes Grove Music Online, Encyclopedia of Popular Music, the Oxford Companion to Music and the Oxford Dictionary of Music.

Grove Music Online includes  the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 2nd Edition (2001), The New Grove Dictionary of Opera (1992), and The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz, 2nd Edition (2001), as well as all subsequent updates and emendations. Including 50,000 signed articles and 28,000 biographies contributed by over 6,000 scholars from around the world, Grove Music Online is the "unsurpassed authority on all aspects of music."

Declared music majors and NU Music Department faculty members, whether full-time or part-time, are eligible to borrow materials from NEC.  You must first register at the Spaulding Library crculation desk; your names will be checked against the annual list sent by the NU Music Department.

The library catalog and information about the library, including hours, are available at http://www.newenglandconservatory.edu/libraries

Students may not borrow audio-visual materials, but may use them in the Firestone Library.  Faculty may borrow sound recordings for a maximum period of one week.

Use of the NEC library by NU students and faculty is governed by the regulations applicable to NEC students and faculty.  Library materials charged out to NU borrowers are subject to immediate recall if needed by any recognized NEC performance group or for class reserves.

Failure to notify the Spaulding Library circulation desk of changes of address or phone will result in cancellation of your borrowing and listening/viewing privileges.
