DVDs in the Killam Memorial Library

 

DVDs of music concerts, recitals and opera productions are fully catalogued in Novanet . Access is available via multiple search terms such as composer name,  title, performer or genre.  The DVDs are located in the Music Collection, 1st floor , Killam Library and are available for one week loans.

 If you wish to browse  our holdings or do a very general search the basic search strategy is :

                                 Step 1  - Do a broad term search  using the Advanced Search in Novanet; ex. "opera".

                                 Step 2 -  In the list of filters on the left select " videos" under " Resource Type" .  

                                 Step 3 -  Under the "Availability " filter , select "Held by Library".

                                 Step 4 -   Under "Library" select Dal Killam Library to access titles available in the Music Collection.

                                 Step 5 -   The results of 387 tiles can then be sorted by author/  composer , title or date.          

DVDs consisting of only music performances will have a call number starting with "M'.   Musicals may have call numbers starting with

" PN 1997"  if the music component is less than 50%.                   

                              

          The Music Collection is deeply indebted to the late, Dr. Michael Parker, whose impressive collection of  over 350 opera performances was donated to the  Killam Library Music Collection in April 2017.
