Professors, Teachers and Students!
Why not have a session of your class meet at The Library?

The Music Division welcomes and encourages class visits to our facilities.  Members of our staff will be happy to meet with you and plan your group visit, customizing the content to suit your particular class needs.  We can provide general introductions to using the Research Library (the Music Division in particular) and can create an informative and useful presentation.

Among the benefits of a visit are:

• Introduction to using the Music Division and The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
• Learning about the wide variety of electronic databases
• Becoming aware of library services
• Discovering many of the uncataloged resources within the Music Division
• Specialized discussions on various topics
• Introduction to the world of archival research

We are eager to cooperate with you in any of the many areas where our specialists' knowledge and training can be of assistance.  Our goal is to create a relationship between students and the Music Division that will enable them to become independent scholars, fostering a desire for lifelong learning and discovery.
