Before visiting the library, we invite you to consult the online catalogue to quickly get information on
the availability of materials. It can be accessed at the following link: didamgd.ro/biblioteca/titluri
Our constant interest in improvement and development has motivated us to create a digital library,
which is an ongoing project and already accessible to users: https://anmgd.omeka.net
For an efficient search, we invite you to follow the Online Search Guide on the library platform.
By creating an account on the library platform, you also have access to the Jstor Music, Cambridge
Journals, Rilm, Oxford Music Online, and Alexander Street databases.
Since the interior of the library consists of several spacious rooms with tall shelves filled from bottom
to top with materials, accessible only by ladder, it is very important to specify the exact sector and
shelf mark when requesting documents for consultation – Sectors and Their Contents. Unique copies
and documentary-type documents (D) are lent according to a special regime established by the
librarian.
We look forward to welcoming you to the ANMGD Library and wish you all much success!
