A Guide to Library Research in Music introduces 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. The
textbook is organized into three parts, allowing 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; 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. Features include: *End of chapter exercises
to aid concept application and skill development. *Appendices of
shortcuts to specifics topics in library organizational systems,
including Library of Congress Subject Headings and Classification.
*Bibliography of music literature and resources, especially
electronic and print publications since 2000. New to this edition:
*Notes on the latest innovations in library catalog searching, new
matters in digital technology, and the expansion in musical genres
for library research.
