Tips on Browsing the Database
Please read through carefully if you are unfamiliar with our database.
The sections are:
Getting Started
- From the Home Page, click on Browse the Collection.
- Lester Levy arranged his music into 38 topical categories, with each
category further divided into a number of boxes. Browsing enables you
to search the contents of each of these boxes, either in their totality
(i.e., the cover and music of each item) or by the covers alone.
Browsing Both Covers and Music
of a Category
- To view all of the covers and music contained in the category "Transportation," click
on the button "Retrieve All."
- Scroll down the list of box contents to the boxes containing music
about Transportation (Boxes 57-58). Highlight the box you wish to view
first.
- Click on "Search" at the bottom of the screen.
- You will now have access to each item contained in Box 57, both covers
and music.
Browsing the Covers Only
- To scan only the covers for items in the category "Sports," click
the button "Covers Only."
- Scroll down the list of box contents to the "Sports," and
highlight one box.
- Click on "Search" at the bottom of the screen.
- You will now have access to thumbnail images of all of the covers
contained in one box.
- To view a full-size image of a cover, click on the thumbnail image.
Viewing the Images
- To view a larger image of the cover or music to an item, click on
the small image. If you wish to view the first page of music, scroll
down to the bottom of the full-size cover page and click on "Page
1." Or, return to the search results and click on the thumbnail
prints of the music.
- REMINDER: If the music was published after 1923, it is not
in the public domain, and therefore there will be no images.
