You can research all media in GUK. Please take out the media from the shelves yourself, either for usage in the library reading room or for lending. You can lend media at the BBK servicepoint or at the self-service loan stations. Refer to the "guide to the music collections in the BBK" (pdf) or the ground plans for an overview of the locations of different subject libraries within the BBK.

SUB

The media from the musicological library (sheet music, CDs, audio cassettes, vinyls) within the SUB central library are stored in the stack rooms. You can find and loan them via GUK, also for loan outside of the library.

The media in the SUB Historical Building are searchable in GUK and can only be used within the reading room of the Historical Building.

The individual titles of the microform collection (microfilms/microfiches) are only referenced via the freely accessible online guide in the Göttingen University Catalogue. The microfilms under the signature MA 2021-1 can be used via corresponding reading devices, which also allow scanning of the texts, in the reading room area of the Central Library of the SUB. Please contact the SUB staff.

Media in the Sound Studio

The media stored in the sound studio of the Department of Musicology, KWZ 2.830 (shellacks, magnetic tapes) are accessed by contacting Prof. Andreas Waczkat, who is responsible for the sound studio. At the studio, technical equipment for the use of the sound media is available. An introduction is provided by Prof. Waczkat.
The shellacks are catalogued in a simple list document. The magnetic tapes are not catalogued. They comprise field recordings by ethnomusicologists from the history of the Department of Musicology.
