Banned Books Week is September 25-October 1. Come check out the Music Library Banned Music exhibit all week to see music-related items from our library that were banned throughout history. The reasons for their censorship vary from political themes to explicit lyrics.
Our exhibit featuring banned music is part of a nationwide event, Banned Books Week, which annually celebrates the freedom to seek and express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular. For more information, check out http://www.bannedbooksweek.org/.
The University of Houston Music Library has created a new, multipurpose space to serve the unique research and study needs of students in the creative and performing arts. There will be an Open House to view the new space on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 6 & 7. Take a tour of the Music Library’s newest creative study room, see what a Beta-Space is and walk away with some musical goodies, like LPs, CDs, and books.
For more information about the UH Music Library Beta-space Study Room, visit the online guide at http://guides.lib.uh.edu/music/betaspace. Reservations will be available starting Thursday, September 8th.

As we get close to the end of the semester, don’t forget that our Music Resources Guide has a ton of helpful tips and resources. You may find the Cite It and HELP! tabs particularly useful. Of course, if you get stuck, you can always email the Music Librarian to set up a one-on-one consultation.
The Music Library now has a section for browsing new items! It is located at the beginning of the Reference section on the first three shelves. Anything in the New Items section can be checked out. We will continue to have our New Acquisitions Table, next to the circulation desk when you come in. This table highlights new books and scores, as well as new reference items.
We added quite a few new e-books in November and December. Below are a select list of some of them. You can click on the title to be taken directly to the item. Note: If you are viewing them off-campus, you will be prompted to log-in to your library account using your cougarnet log-in information.
