Monographs
Relevant Subject headings related to this program and the SFU library's holdings are as follows. The first number are the holdings across all three SFU Libraries. Numbers in parentheses ( ) are holdings at SFU Surrey, and numbers in brackets [ ] are holdings at SFU Vancouver.
Computer Music 451 (117) [62]
Music -- Acoustics and Physics 108 (28) [8]
Psychoacoustics 24 (10) [5]
Sound Recording and Reproducing -- Digital techniques 91 (59) [32]
The Surrey holdings in this area should be maintained at a stronger level than currently is being done. Approximately 5 titles per year should be added to the Surrey collection.
At an average book price of $85, this will cost $425/year.
