Jazz on Wednesdays

Every Tuesday and Wednesday in the middle of the day I make myself available for an hour or so at a table in Tyler‘s grand foyer to answer reference questions. The new Tyler building on Temple’s main campus is connected to the Boyer College of Music and Dance and the two schools share public space. Most Wednesdays during the semester some jazz students form Boyer set up their band outside Presser Hall. This video was taken from my ‘Tyler Reference Desk’. This is one more reason why I absolutely love my job at Temple. 

Anne Harlow is Temple University’s Music, Dance and Theater librarian. Contact Anne if you need research assistance in those areas.

To learn more about the original works or the artists who produced them, search the libraries’ online catalog for books or Oxford Art Online for artist information.
