Music Industry: Library Resources

Useful books for exploring Music Industry are in several shelf locations.

Books on music as an industry are clustered at 338.4778.

Books on music copyright and law are in the range 346 - 348, but it's best to search the catalogue for an exact call number.

Music in general is in the 780s, so a lot of books on jobs in the industry, and business and legal aspects of composing, performing, and recording, are found here.

Many general books on business will be at the Elgar Library- if you place a Hold on them, they can be sent to Nelson Library .
