Like Vinyl? We do, too...

Did you know the Media Center has over 1,300 vinyl LP recordings? To search our vinyl collection click here, select the "Limit/Sort" tab, and limit the results to Odegaard Undergraduate Library. After you find what you want come to the Media Center and ask for the title by call number (that would be so nice of you). Since you have to listen to these titles in the Media Center, we'll hook you with a turntable to use.

Like the rest of our holdings, the contents of this collection cover a broad swath of topics, disciplines, and genres. Here's a random sampling of what you'll find...
