The UNLV Music Library is the newest of the branch libraries on campus, opening in August 2001. It is located in the Beam Music Center at the northeast corner of campus. The Music Library houses a small music reference collection, approximately 25,000 scores, and over 6,000 recordings focusing on classical music and jazz. Staffing for the Music Library includes a Music Librarian, two classified staff members, and 4-6 student workers. The Music Library's primary goal is to support the curriculum of the Music Department and the teaching and research needs of faculty and students.

Instruction sessions can be scheduled with the Music Librarian for both classes and individuals. A copy machine is available, operated with RebelCOPY Cards. Rebel Guest Cards are available for $5 and $10. The Music Library has four computer workstations, providing access to the library's catalog, the Internet, New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, and more.
