IUCAT This link opens in a new window
- This link opens in a new window
Thousands of the music library's recordings have been digitized--just use the facets on the left side to find them. (limit to audio recordings, then, streaming audio)
IUCAT, Indiana University's online library catalog, provides comprehensive access to millions of items held by the IU Libraries statewide, including books, recordings, US government publications, periodicals, and other types of material. Users can access IUCAT from any Internet-connected computer or device, whether in the libraries, on campus, or off campus.

Tip: to avoid seeing results for "highlights" recordings, use the word "complete" in your search to return recordings that feature the full, complete opera or ballet (not just the highlights)
