The library has recently subscribed to 3 new online music collections spanning world music, classical, and African American folk music. The collections provide music as streaming audio, and represent some of the most renowned artists, composers, and recording labels. For teaching purposes, faculty can easily incorporate the music into their courses by linking to specific selections from Blackboard. All are invited to explore the music collections from the comfort of their own rooms or offices!
The titles of the collections are Smithsonian Global Sound, Classical Music Library, and African American Song. You can find them by going to the Music & Performing Arts subject category in TOR, and then selecting the "Audio & Video" tab. Happy listening!
