Descriptions of Collections
CUA Libraries offer a wide variety of media in an array of formats,
from LPs and VHS tapes to DVDs:
Mullen Library Media Resources
The Undergraduate Student Government has generously donated DVDs of the
One
Hundred Greatest Movies, which has enhanced Mullen's collection of
video recordings. In addition to these feature films, you will find
productions of dramatic works by Shakespeare and other playwrights,
classic films from the U.S. and around the world, and recordings of
poets reading their own verse. Please browse the online list. All the media items in Mullen Library are available for borrowing at
the circulation desk on the first floor.
Music Library Media Resources
The Music
Library in
Ward Hall houses visual and sound recordings largely of opera, ballet,
and musical theater presentations (filmed and staged), videos of
concerts, and a few documentaries. The collection includes LPs, laser
discs, compact discs, and DVDs, and the Music Library provides equipment to play all of these formats.
