The catalog provides access to the library holdings of Appalachian State University (books, movies, music scores, music CDs, government documents, audiobooks, and more).

Finding a Specific Piece of Music or Recording

Using the App State Library Catalog: 

• For shorter works such as songs, do a TITLE search in ASU's Library Catalog; if that retrieves nothing or only a few items, try the same search as a KEYWORD search.
• Do an AUTHOR search (composer last name, first name). Arrangement of a composer's works is by UNIFORM TITLE. Uniform titles are either DISTINCTIVE titles in the original language, or GENERIC titles, which begin with form or genre and are followed by performance medium, serial or opus or thematic catalog number, and key.

Finding Music in a Specific Category

Do a KEYWORD search in App State's Library Catalog 

Example KEYWORD searches:

• Percussion concerto
• Percussion solo
• Percussion quartet

You can further limit your search by material type. For scores, select "Music, Printed" under Material Type in the Library Catalog Advance Search. 

Finding Information on the Instrument

Try a SUBJECT search using the name of your instrument. 

Example searches: 

• Marimba
• Timpani
• Drum Set
