How Scores are Organized

The Music Collection uses Library of Congress Classification, or LCC, for organizing print books and scores on the shelves. Used in libraries worldwide, this system groups items by topic and assigns each a unique alphanumeric call number. Hint: Enter the first part of a call number into OneSearch to see all items in a given section. Include AND tuba, AND baritone, or AND euphonium to further narrow results.

T.U.B.A. Resource Library

The T.U.B.A. Resource Library was established in 1975 by the Tubists Universal Brotherhood Association (now the International Tuba Euphonium Association) as an interlibrary loan resource for tuba and euphonium players. Integrated into the Music Collection, it contains over 600 items of tuba and euphonium solos and method books. Many of these are copies of manuscripts of unpublished compositions. Search the T.U.B.A. Resource Library through OneSearch as described above.
