Reserves

Electronic Materials

• Non-audio digital files are available via Blackboard, or the instructor's preferred course content depository
• Access to files on Blackboard is restricted to students enrolled in a given course

  These materials are linked through course syllabi submitted directly to Conservatory Library staff prior to the beginning of the semester.
  
  To arrange listening for your course reserves:

  1) Provide a course syllabus and specify particular recordings (or we will supply a links to Naxos or other streaming resources based on your suggestions). Send syallabi to Gregory Solow, Conservatory Library Circulation Coordinator, at gsolow@oberlin.edu.

  2) We will return a linked document which you may add to your Blackboard (or Google Drive) course listing

  3) Students may then click on syllabus links to listen
