To browse for circulating books, CDs, and DVDs related to jazz musicians and jazz history, follow these steps:
- Head to the NYPL home page: www.nypl.org
- On the right-hand side of the screen, click on the word "search"

- In the search box, type "jazz," or the name of a performer, ensemble, or sub-genre (such as swing or bebop)
- Leave the bubble checked for "search the catalog"
- On the next page, under "format," click book/text, music CD, etc. Your results will then be limited to just that format.
- On the next page, under "collection," click "circulating." The resulting page will contain only items that can be checked out and taken home from the library.

- Continue using the facets along the left hand side of the screen to further refine your results.
- Once you've identified an item you'd like to check out, note the location of that item; or click to have the item sent to your preferred branch.
