The KMH Library is located in the E house. For access, you will need a special chip, that you can get in the Service Centre.
In the library you will find sheet music, books, periodicals,
records, videos, reference works on CD-ROM etc. The Library also has
KMH’s most comprehensive archive of essays and degree theses written at
KMH (but also from other music colleges in Sweden).
In addition
to 20 or more reading positions, the Library has nine listening
positions equipped with CD and cassette players, and also two listening
rooms fitted with CD, DVD, cassette, record, DAT, MD and tape players,
plus TV and video. The loans counter is always staffed during Library
opening hours, but service is limited at certain times (see above).
Library catalogues
The Library has several catalogues of its own which you can search both on the spot and via KMH’s external website http://www.kmh.se (click on “Bibliotek”).
- Sheet music and books
- CDs
- Songs in collections
- Essays and dissertations
- Periodicals
The catalogue of sheet music and books gives both shelf mark and
lending status, i.e. shows whether the material you are searching for
is currently available for borrowing. With the aid of a PIN (issued at
the loans counter) you can also check your current loans and
reservations and renew your loans (up to 3 times).
In the
Library’s Songs in collections index you can search for songs (or their
composers) in many of the Library’s sheet music collections. This index
contains mostly popular music, but also much else besides.
On
the Internet you can also access Libris, which is a common catalogue of
all Swedish research libraries, including for example the stocks of the
Royal Library (KB – the Swedish national library) and Statens
Musikbibliotek (the Music Library of Sweden).
From the Library itself you can also access other databases which are useful when seeking references to articles and suchlike.
Listen to music on the Internet
From the library page at the KMH website, you can access Classical Music Library and Naxos Music Library, where you can listen to (but not download) lots of music. The former can only be used within KMH, but Naxos is accessible also from outside KMH with your acess card number as log-in.
Lending rules
Only KMH students and staff are entitled
to take borrowed books home. Your acess card is also your library card.
No loans can be made without it. If you wish to reserve a book, please,
speak to the library staff.
You can borrow sheet music, books,
DVDs, videos and back numbers of periodicals. The CDs are a reference
collection and as a rule not available for borrowing, but students can
borrow records during the day for presentation purposes.
The
loan period is four weeks (with the exception already explained
concerning CDs). If you fail to return borrowed material after three
reminders, you will be suspended from using the Library. All lost
material must be made up for.
Orchestra parts are lended out only for use in KMH ensembles. Students are personally responsible for their parts.
