How to access RNCM Discovery

What does RNCM Discovery search?

As well as the Library’s physical resources, RNCM Discovery also searches most of the RNCM Library’s online resources. These include journals, e-books, videos, audio, and dictionaries. Some of the resources are:

  • RNCM Library catalogue

Tips for getting the most from RNCM Discovery

  • If you’re looking for something that’s actually in the Library (e.g. a piece of sheet music) then limit your search by selecting All Filters, then ticking the “Library resources only” filter.
  • Use the filters under the search bar to reduce the number of results. You can filter by source type, publication, content provider and more.
  • Use the advanced search option to be able to add more detailed search criteria.
  • Use the Cite option above each search result to get citation information on the resource.
