Announcing the Classical Music Library

This academic year, the CIM library will be introducing several new digital streaming services. Today, we are happy to announce a new subscription to the Classical Music Library. It joins other digital streaming services such as the Naxos Music Library & Naxos Fantasy Jazz. A product of Alexander Street Press, the Classical Music Library provides online access to an extensive body of music recordings. This collection features labels such as EMI, Sanctuary Classics, Hyperion, CBC, and others. The Classical Music Library was developed to serve as a comprehensive resource for libraries. We hope you will take advantage of this new service. This resource may be accessed from the CIM Library webpages under the link Find Streaming Audio.
