The IPR Library
The library acts as the extension of the IPR curriculum by offering students a large variety of course-specific music resources. Each quarter we acquire hundreds of new items for student use. The librarian works closely with the faculty to ensure that students can access information and acquire the research skills that will help them to succeed at IPR and in their future careers.

Three powerful databases
Ebscohost provides tens of thousands of full-text, indexed, searchable, peer-reviewed articles spanning the entire range of academic scholarship. ProQuest grants the same level of access to newspaper articles, offering up-to-the minute articles from hundreds of national and international news publications. Finally, the Audio Engineering digital library offers searchable archives for the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society.
Library instruction services
The library provides many levels of support for students looking for study help. Students can approach the librarian for one-on-one research instruction at any point during regular library hours. The librarian also visits classes to promote best research practices. Additionally, the library room adjoins the Learning Resource Center, which imparts a quiet study area all day and tutoring sessions during evening hours.
