The University of Illinois's Music and Performing Arts Library (MPAL) is one of the largest at a public university, and its music holdings are currently ranked very high among music libraries in the United States and the world. Its collections contain more than 765,000 volumes, including over 55,000 books, 520,000 scores, 19,000 microforms, 150,000 sound recordings, and over 20,000 items in other formats and media. The collection brings together dance, theatre, and music materials which facilitates an interdisciplinary dialogue between performers of all kinds.

Each month MPAL creates a guide to assist those attending events at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts to use MPAL collections to learn more about the performers and works. http://www.library.illinois.edu/mux/research/KCPAGuides.html
