Music Resource Center

General Information

At the heart of our thriving music community is the Music Resource Center (MRC). A depot of performance and study materials for music majors, the MRC boasts a robust collection of scores, parts, and media materials (LPs, CDs, Videos, and DVDs) that help to positively augment the curricular offerings at CSU East Bay. This office also coordinates room scheduling and handles concert and student recital scheduling and printed program production.

Music Checkout Procedures and Rules

Checking materials out from the MRC is a snap! But, there are some rules and regulations all students must adhere to.

Chamber Music, Scores, Anthologies, Vocal Scores

CSUEB students, alumni who are current members of the Music Alumni Chapter of the CSUEB Alumni Association, and faculty may check out scores, anthologies, vocal/piano scores, and sets of scores and parts for any combination of instruments housed in our Music Resource Center Library (MB2047). Checkout limit: 5 scores or sets of score and parts at any one time. (See MRC for limited exceptions) No student may checkout any materials if he/she has overdue materials still out. Music borrowed is due the last day of finals of the quarter during which it is checked out, and may be renewed if needed for performance or rehearsal for the following quarter.

Recordings (DVDs, CDs):

Any checkout of DVDs, CDs, or phonograph recordings must be pre-approved by an instructor or the Music Resource Center. Students may check out recordings on a limited basis and only for one week at a time. (See the Music Resource Center personnel for instruction).

Choral and Orchestra Music

Check out of music from the Orchestra and Choral music libraries is limited to CSUEB Music Faculty for use by Music Department performance groups and classroom instruction and study. Any other checkout must be approved by the Music Resource Center and the Conductor of the CSUEB Symphony Orchestra or Director of Choral Studies.
