Libraries News for the College of Music - Spring 2025
Welcome from the University Libraries!
The University Libraries are dedicated to your success. Learn more about our services for research and teaching, resources in the collection and your subject librarian, Stephanie Bonjack.
Our course reserves can provide access to class textbooks and other materials through the Libraries without additional financial burden to students. In many cases, we’re able to make a copy of your textbook available to your students. We can also assist with selecting open educational resources for future semesters. Questions or concerns? Email libraries@colorado.edu.
If your class has a research or design assignment where students need to find and integrate various sources of information, a subject librarian can provide library instruction about topics such as using scholarly resources, conducting a literature review, or using citation management software during regularly scheduled class times.
