It can be hard to remember which tools to use for which task, so the main goal of this site is to help with that. This guide introduces a toolkit of resources for research in music, including encyclopedia and other background information sources, article databases, online and print book resources, online and print score resources, and more.

If you have questions about content on this guide or need help with your music research, please contact your friendly UIowa music librarian, Katie Buehner. She's available to answer questions in consultations (via Zoom or in person) or via email. 

Guide content supports the teaching and research goals of multiple departments on campus. Content represents a non-exhaustive selection of essential resources and tools for engaging a wide range of backgrounds and viewpoints.
