General information / Facilities and financial support
/ Library
 
The library (Main Building, 3rd floor) houses a comprehensive collection of sheet music (for a wide range of instruments), scores, books, periodicals and folders containing details of upcoming brass-band competitions, festivals, concert diaries etc. The library provides free resources and materials for students and lecturers. The catalogue is also available on the Internet.
To request a library pass, please bring along your student ID card. Subject to certain conditions, this IHOL pass can also be used to borrow books from all IHOL-affiliated libraries (Limburg Information Structure for Higher Education, Dutch: Infostructuur Hoger Onderwijs Limburg), including Maastricht University and Stadsbibliotheek Maastricht. A special folder has been produced, containing an overview of these libraries and terms and conditions. This folder is available from the Information desk.
Open Library Network (OBN)

Besides its own databases, the web-based catalogue also provides access to the Open Library Network (OBN), which contains the catalogues of other libraries as well as the following central catalogues:

  • the NCC (Dutch Central Catalogue; Dutch: Nederlandse Centrale catalogus) has access to all  the books, periodicals and magazines held in more than 400 libraries in the Netherlands
  • the Online Contents (OLC) provides access to articles in almost 15,000 magazines covering all disciplines.
  • PiCarta enables users to search integrated databases, e.g. sheet music

Books can be ordered from Dutch libraries via the inter-library loan facility.
