The Music Resource Center (MRC) houses the Music Department’s curricular resource collection, including scores, reference books, and recordings. The online catalog is The Bridge, which is shared by Carleton and St. Olaf Colleges, where you can search for reference books, music scores, audio recordings (CDs) housed in the MRC. The MRC is not a circulating library per se. Access to holdings is generally limited to use in the MRC.

The Music Resource Center contains seven A/V computer workstations for listening to and/or viewing materials in our media collections. In addition, each is equipped with a MIDI keyboard, music notation software (Encore and Sibelius), music sequencing software (Digital Performer) and sound editing capability (Amadeus II). Priority for use of these machines is given to faculty currently teaching and students currently enrolled in music courses.
