Purpose of this Guide

This curated Music research guide will help you locate, evaluate, select, and cite relevant library resources. 

Where to start?

If you are just beginning the research process and unfamiliar with a topic, or if you are still searching for a research topic, begin by exploring Reference sources. These will help define, summarize and provide important historical and cultural context on a time period, genre, musician, composer, or musical piece.
