Searching for books in the online catalog or Summon

You can use the library catalog or Summon to search for books in the library.

Don't forget that you can refine a keyword search by limiting the kinds of materials (books, articles, etc.), the time period in which they were published, or the location (Music Library, Curriculum Resource Center, etc.).

Keyword Searches:

You can do simple keyword searches in Summon or in the library cataog using combinations of words that are relevant to your topic, for instance:

Indonesia and Gamelan

or

Hawaii Folk Songs

Searches like these can be a good starting point, but might include some unrelated hits.

Subject/Genre Search

If you're interested in a particular country, world area, or type of music, a subject search in the library catalog can be powerful, like the following sample searches:

Papua New Guinea

Melanesia

Hula

This search will only turn up books, recordings, or periodicals that are *all or mostly* about the subject in question. If your searches here don't turn up many relevant hits, consider using a Keyword search instead.
