Research Help: Find CDs, DVDs, Videos, and More
CDs
There are about forty reference CD-ROMs; most have been shelved in Reserve, and can be checked out. Software for some of them is loaded on four of the workstations just to the west of the Olin Library Reference Help Desk on Level 1. Please ask at the Help Desk for assistance in using these resources. Audiobooks and some sound recordings are in Olin Reserve. Most audio CDs and other sound recordings are located in the Music Library.
