The Song Index is a database of sheet music and song lyrics available in songbooks housed in the Research Center workroom on the 4th floor of the Central Library. The songbooks are not available for check out but photocopies can be made; please request titles at the Research Center service desk.
The Song Index is updated daily but not all titles in the collection have been entered; if a particular song title is not in the database please check with a librarian in the Research Center or call the AskUs Hotline at (918) 549-7323.
If you’re searching the database outside of the library and find a song you’d like, please call us before you visit the library to make sure the songbook is available. AskUs Hotline, (918) 549-7323.
