Music Library and Research Skills is a complete guide for music majors for researching and completing a paper. It encompasses all the latest technologies and resources, providing not only annotated listings of key items but also informative "how to" side bars and "real life" stories to guide the student. All music majors are required to take a research methods course and this book, by the Vice President and Head Librarian of the Juilliard School, will set a new standard for the course.
Reviews / Votes
"As mentioned earlier in this review, in light of my own evolving path as librarian, educator, and scholar, Music Library and Research Skills is a welcome guide and companion in this journey, and will go far to address the needs of my students as we chart our future course at the ``New American University.''- Christopher E. Mehrens, Head, Music Library, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ
