A Guide to Library Research in Music introduces students to the
process and techniques for researching and writing about music. It
provides examples of different types of writing, offers a thorough
introduction to music literature, describes various
information-searching methods and library-based organizational
systems, and explores the wide array of music resources. This
second edition discusses the latest innovations in library catalog
searching, new matters in digital technology, and the expansion in
musical genres for library research. The book's organization allows
for three independent tracks of study. Part 1 treats essentials of
the research process, explaining starting-point resources such as
library catalogs, dictionaries, and bibliographies. It addresses
scholarly documentation, the use of style manuals, and basics of
copyright. Part 2 develops skills and strategies for library- and
Internet-based research, describing database structures and library
catalogs, subject searching in catalogs and journal indexes,
keyword searching techniques, related-record searching and citation
databases, and the use of experts and thematic catalogs. Part 3
discusses the organization of a music library, emphasizing score
collections, books and journals in music literature, and music
teaching publications.
