URSUS: Recordings |
Fogler Library owns a variety of sound recordings, including DVDs and compact discs, housed as Media Resources on the first floor (accessed at the Reserve Desk). This guide will assist you in using URSUS to identify the recordings we own here at Fogler Library. Please contact a Reference Librarian for further assistance (Ask-a-Librarian).
FIRST - Whichever search tab you choose in URSUS, click on the arrow to the left of "Search Entire URSUS Catalog." From this list choose "University of Maine catalog."
BY TITLE
If you know the title of a recording, do an URSUS search by Title. If you do not locate the recording you need, try another approach. Because musical compositions are often known by differing titles, or because you may only know the title of a particular piece on a recording, you should try an Advanced Keyword search, such as Mozart and magic. Set the Material Type to Sound, Music . (Remember to choose the University of Maine catalog.)
BY PERFORMER OR COMPOSER
To locate recordings by performer or composer name, you should do an Author search, last name first, i.e. Schumann Clara. To find a piece performed by a particular performer, i.e. Jochum, first do an Author search on the composer. Then use the Limit/Sort Search button at the top of the screen to choose Material Type Sound, Music and Words in the AUTHOR where you will enter the performer's last name.
BY SUBJECT
Choose SUBJECT to search for recordings in a particular category, i.e. Song Cycles. If you are having difficulty searching for recordings by subject, try doing an Advanced Keyword search.
If you have any questions about searching URSUS for recordings, please contact us (Ask-a-Librarian) and we will be happy to assist you.
