Searching the library catalog for sound recordings
The library online catalog is the place to search for sound recordings that the library owns. Begin your search on the library homepage (https://library.tamucc.edu) by selecting the Books tab. Then choose a Subject search. Type in a word that describes the kind of musical recording you’re looking for, for instance ‘violin’ or ‘opera’. Then use the Limit/Sort Search button to limit the Material Type to 'CD (AUDIO)'. To search by composer, choose an Author search instead of a Subject search. Type in the composer's name, then use the Limit/Sort Search button to limit the Material Type to 'CD (AUDIO)'.
