BGSU Music Library

While what we have is great, this is just a reminder that our staff can help you with music-related issues in person or online: bgsu.edu/library/music/…

Reminder: The arts are an occupation. Labor and labor rights are not confined to one gender. MLBSSA is closed from September 2nd to the 4th for Labor Day Weekend.

Happy 50th Birthday Hip-Hop! We wouldn't be us without you.

MLBSSA will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, July 4th. Come see us from 8 am to 5 pm for the rest of the week.

Congratulations to MLBSSA student worker Colin Hochstetler for his @bgsuCURS research presentation entitled, "Beyond Ambient Music: Space Music and Its Functions in North American Planetariums." He applied for and received a grant for his research.

Our annual day of giving, #BGSUOneDay starts tomorrow! Look for more information about University Libraries' featured funds coming soon. Early giving is open at bgsu.edu/oneday #BGSULibraries #BGSU

For BGSU One Day, please consider donating to the Sherri Long Memorial Scholarship. While not part of MLBSSA, she worked with us to make our materials accessible to outside researchers thru ILL. bgsu.edu/alumni/oneday.…

Just a reminder that MLBSSA is part of the Summer Research Institute. Come research our archives! bgsu.edu/library/pcl/su…

@BeefheartN @DrPopCultureBG @BGSULibraries Thank you for noticing! She started her career as an author.

Did you know two women started audiobooks? Marianne Mantell (née Roney) and Barbara Holdridge (née Cohen), founded Caedmon Records, which included multiple genres (children's to sci-fi) and formats (work read by the author to a full-cast recording). Come see our display!#HERstory

Join the @MLBSSA as we celebrate thousands of our oldest sound recordings being included in the Internet Archive’s @great78project! The Teaching Kitchen will be serving mocktails while we enjoy musical selections from the collection on March 21 from 3-5 p.m. #BGSU #BGSULibraries

Just a reminder: We are closed March 5th and 12th and open from 8 am to 5 pm March 6th to 10th because of Spring Break.

@DrPopCultureBG @elvagreen123 @bearmanormedia We have the score for Duffy's Tavern and 3 uncatalogued (not completely processed) recordings in our collection.

@elvagreen123 @bearmanormedia I wonder if @MLBSSA has anything related to Duffy’s Tavern in its collection.

We are closed today and tomorrow in observance of MLK, Jr. Day, but you can view some of our James Baldwin LPs on the first floor of Jerome. Did you know Baldwin taught at BGSU?

We are closed today, December 23, 2022. We will be open again January 3, 2023.

When we say music from the pandemic, we generally mean music created during and in response to the pandemic. Yet, @MLBSSA also has non-music recordings and other types of materials in our catalog under the "COVID-19" search term.

Music from the pandemic is disappearing. Thanks to generous MLBSSA General Fund donors we have been able to collect some of these albums before they went away. Recordings capture the temperature of society and prominent issues of an era. #MoreThanMusic @BGSULibraries

@DrPopCultureBG @from_years @MLBSSA has a piece of sheet music with Ray Anthony doing the Bunny Hop with Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh on the cover.

Bandleader Ray Anthony celebrates his 101st birthday in January 2023. He is the last surviving member of the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The Ray Anthony Orchestra became popular in the early 1950s with "The Bunny Hop", "Hokey Pokey", and the theme from Dragnet. @from_years @MLBSSA
