10. LABAN LIBRARY AND ARCHIVE

During your spare time at Summer School we encourage you to make the most of Laban’s library and archive. Our library offers the largest and most varied open access specialist research collection on dance and related subjects in the UK, covering many aspects of dance in a variety of formats and languages. You are also welcome to use the library’s computers and internet.

For further information, see http://library.trinitylaban.ac.uk , choosing Laban Library and Archive.

What do I need to get started? From the above link, use the Laban library catalogue to find books, videos, DVDs, CDs, journals, theses, etc., or the archive catalogue to search for archival primary material. Once in the Library, you can search QuickSearch for access to electronic journals as well.

How do I find things on the catalogue? 1. Enter the author or choreographer (surname, then forename) or the title of the book, video, journal you want to find. 2. Click on the Title drop-down arrow to change where you look to Author to look for a book by an author or dance piece by a choreographer or to Subject to look for items about someone or something. E.g. Forsythe, William as an author will retrieve items by him as a choreographer. As a subject, it will find items about him.

How do I locate what I’ve found on the catalogue in the Library?  Let’s say you are looking for Fifty Choreographers by Martha Bremser.  You have entered the author or title and a single line displays the search result. Click on the title for more information.  Holdings says which collection it is in Library - Dance Books (nearer) or Library - General Books (further up the library), the shelf location and number available.  The prefix, LAB, indicates that it is in the Dance Books; GEN = General Books  The suffix, BRE, will help find it on a particular shelf, if there are lots of items shelved at that number.

Apart from LAB for Dance Books, what other prefixes and collections are there? The main ones are: CD CDs shelved, by the computers CUT Cuttings – from newspapers and similar publications GEN General Books JOU Journals LAB Dance Books. Spine labels start with L then a number.
