The Library of the Musicological Institute is a part of the main Library of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Among the Library's items on exhibit are musicological publications, a stock of recent musical scores, copies of manuscripts and editions of earlier Slovene music as well as an audio collection. The Library mainly focuses on processing musical material and musicological literature, which it then mediates through catalogues. It also places a special emphasis on the Slovene musical heritage and offers works of national composers as well as scholarly publications on the subject of Slovene musical culture.
Services and international cooperation
The Library is primarily used by the researchers of the Musicological Institute, who publish their findings on the heritage of Slovene music in the scholarly collection Monumenta artis musicae Sloveniae. The bilingual collection is compiled by researchers and external collaborators of the Institute, along with other invited authors. The library is also open to the public, especially with regard to literature which is not available at other general and specialised libraries.
The Library holds a collection of musical monographs and journals , scholarly and periodical publications, music scores, a series of Festschriefts (celebratory writing), library and exhibition catalogues, auction catalogues, bibliographies and encyclopedias. Currently the Institute subscribes to about 20 scholarly journals, various music materials, such as recent prints and copies of older manuscripts as well as sound materials covering records, compact disks and audio cassettes. The collection totals more than 7000 units, with yearly additions of more than 200, which are inventoried at the Institute in an alphabetical name catalogue, while information on literature acquired since 1991 is also available through the shared electronic database in the COBISS – Slovene Virtual Library system.
The Library's collection also contains 820 books donated by Oxford Professor Reinhard Strohm in 2003. In 2007 a smaller corpus of literature in the Slovenian language was donated by the family of the late Head of the Institute Danilo Pokorn.
