Department of Musicology Library, University of Ljubljana
Collection
Throughout the years the library collected material and enlarged its holdings, particularly through donations. The special part of the bibliographic collection belonged to Professor Dragotin Cvetko. He was a founder of the Department of Musicology and its Head of Department for several years. The purchased collection by Dragotin Cvetko includes remarkable works by world known researchers of Musicology. The full bibliography of Cvetko's collection is available online.
Another important figure in the library's history is ethnomusicologist Bruno Nettl (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA). In 2006 he donated an impressive collection of world reference literature in the field of Ethnomusicology. A part of this bibliography is available online.
Access
The information on the holdings of the library is accessible on COBISS - Slovene Virtual Library and by index files which are also available in the electronic catalogue on the library's website. Most of the material obtained after 1991 is reviewed with the help of the COBISS system. For staff members and students there is also special access to the internal e-Library.
The library has a modest reading room for 6 persons, computers that offer access to the COBISS catalogue and the use of other electronic sources, as well as 2 seats for listening purposes.
