Naxos Music Library has free apps for iPhone, iPad, and iTouch at http://www.apple.com/itunes/ and for Android in the Android Market on your phone. Search "NML” or “Naxos Music Library.”
Download the app to your phone, then set up mobile access. To do this you will need to create a (free) personal account in Naxos Music Library:
1. First, get into Naxos Music Library through the Allen Library’s (or University Libraries’) web page (It will NOT work if you Google Naxos’s generic site).
2. Click on Playlist (in the toolbar under the search box), then click Sign Up (in the Student / Members Playlist bar).
3. On your mobile device, log into the NML or Naxos Music Library app using the personal account that you created. You can browse private and shared playlists or type a search.
Classical Music Library allows you to send track links to mobile devices. (Links are active for 48 hours.) You can also access your playlists. Here’s how to set up a selection on your mobile device:
1. In Classical Music Library, look for a cell phone icon ( "Send-to-Mobile") next to each title.
2. Click on the link to get a “shortlink” to send on your mobile device. (This enables playback.)
3. You can email or text message the link to your device, type it in, or scan it using a QR code (a special barcode readable by smart phone cameras).
4. When listening to audio on a mobile device, you will need a 3G data connection or better. Service is available for Apple iPhone or Mobile Device with Android OS. For more information, see http://clmu.alexanderstreet.com/help/view/using_your_mobile_device.
Need help? Allen Library staff are available to assist!
Yes, you are allowed to renew library materials one time.
Should I tape torn materials myself?
NO!!! This will further damage library material.
Standard tape glue will corrode the pages of library items. Also, when you put tape on items, we can’t get it off again. The Allen Library uses specific adhesives and methods to restore damaged paper and bindings. Please bring torn or damaged library items to the circulation desk.
The Binding Blues - Do not tape pages into a score for the sake of an easier page turn. These pages are difficult to remove without damaging the original library item.
- You tore the pages of my library item just like you tore my heart
If the Allen Library does not have an item that I think should be in its collection, can I request that it be purchased?
Yes, the Allen Library welcomes suggestions for purchase from patrons. Please stop by the circulation desk and ask for an acquisition request form. An online version of the form can be found at: http://library.hartford.edu/services/suggtitle.asp. You are also encouraged to bring suggestions to Tracey Rudnick, Allen Library Head Librarian. We try to fill requests that fall within curricular objectives whenever possible. If the item you suggest is not immediately on hand, we can assist you in borrowing it from another library through interlibrary loan.
Can I receive notification that my library items are coming due?
Yes, you may set a variety of message and notification settings by logging into the online library catalog (http://hartford.waldo.kohalibrary.com/). The library catalog log in can be found at the top of the catalog homepage. Enter your 8-digit ID as the login. Enter your surname (with capitalized first letter) as the password if you are logging in for the first time.
Before making any notification changes, please make sure you have an email listed that you check regularly in the contact information box found under the tab “My Personal Details” found on the left side of the page.
Under the tab “My Messaging,” you may set an advanced notice for upcoming due items. Select the number of days prior to an item’s due date, on which you would like to receive a notification from the drop-down menu to the right of “Advance Notice.” Next, check the box in the “Email” column. Finally, click on “Submit Changes” to activate this notification change.
