Search Library Catalogue for all spoken-word sound recordings formats: CDs, LPs and cassettes, located in various LCR locations however most are located in the Fine Arts mediated collections on 9LT (~1000 items) and the Doucette Library of Teaching Resources (>200).
- To retrieve only spoken-word recordings, limit search by Specialized Format to Spoken Word
For spoken-word sound recordings located in the Fine Arts mediated collections:
- Present the call number to the Fine Arts Reference staff to retrieve and sign out the items for you.
- Items signed out at the Fine Arts Reference desk must be returned to that same desk.
Note that increasingly audio is appearing in our Online Resources. Of course, audio is inherent in video - see also Video LibGuide.

Donations of CDs, LPs, books, music scores and parts, DVDs, Canadian art ephemera, digital images with copyrights, and, of course, monetary donations are welcome!
