Circulation Policy

Sound recordings, compact discs, and the archival LP collections are non-circulating collections. Any member of the Hamilton Community and outside borrowers may use the materials in the Music Library. Listening facilities are available. When taking the materials to the listening equipment, a Hamilton College ID must be left at the Circulation Desk until the item is returned. Non-Hamilton community people may leave driver's licenses or other forms of identification. Scores, which were moved to Music Library in 2001, do circulate.

Reserves

Sound recordings, scores, and other materials may be placed on reserve for any Hamilton course at the request of the faculty member. Music Library reserves are listed in ALEX. In some cases, a reserve file is maintained at the Circulation Desk. For more information concerning the Music Library, contact Joan Clair at 859-4349.
