Performing Arts

Performing arts

Titles are acquired in the broad areas of drama, opera and classical music, and dance. Because of their broad interdisciplinary appeal and the limited number of new releases each year, drama and opera titles are acquired on a sustained level adequate to support undergraduate and most graduate instruction (although at less than research intensity). Different performances of the same title may be acquired. However, general interest titles of classical music performances are not acquired unless they have a special and significant pedagogical value. Dance titles (both ballet and modern dance) are acquired to support a basic collection. Instructional or training titles in the performing arts are not acquired, since these are the audio-visual equivalent of textbooks, which the Library does not purchase.
