University at Buffalo Libraries

The Music Library's primary mission is to support the instructional and research needs of the UB Music Department. It also provides support to disciplines which intersect with music--dance, anthropology, American studies, theatre, and information and library studies--and serves the music information needs of Western New York's arts community.

Like the University itself, the Music Library's overarching mission is to remain on the cutting edge of research, to help push back the boundaries of knowledge by creatively serving those engaged in that enterprise. The Music Library is committed to providing expert reference service, detailed and relevant access to the library's resources, and a collection which anticipates users' needs.
