Finding Music Journal Articles

Library databases are your gateway to materials outside the scope of our library catalog, especially journal articles. Sometimes the full text of an article is available directly through online databases. Other times, the database will only provide a citation (enough information to identify and locate the article elsewhere) or a citation and an abstract (a summary of the article). In those cases, you must use the Get It! button or search our Journals List to see if we own the journal or have electronic access to it. If we don't, you can request the article through interlibrary loan (ILLiad).
