{"product_id":"music-research-9780190644505","title":"Music Research","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConcise and practical, Music Research introduces students to the major print and electronic research tools available to them. This unique handbook does not aim to provide an exhaustive introduction to the subject; rather, it is highly selective and guides students to the most significant English-language research tools and resources, reference titles in major areas, and the principal sources in French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Now updated to reflect the growing emphasis on the digital humanities, this is the perfect guide for 21st century music scholars. The text is supplemented by a comprehensive Companion Website that includes supplement links, updates to available bibliographies and readings by chapter, research tools listed by composer, and lists of core music journals and major professional music associations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI think Laurie Sampsel's Music Research fills a real need and is practically perfect. The book is well-organized, and the writing is clear. The contents are appropriate, just the right amount of material and relevant focus. The emphasis on evaluation rather than bibliography is more appropriate for the research tools available to students and researchers today. * Jennifer Thomas, University of Florida *\u003cbr\u003eMusic Research is the most current text on the market at this time. Its best features include short but informative chapter introductions written in a clear way; concise advice on research and writing; evaluation checklists (in boxes); and style manual information at your fingertips. * Judith Bowman, Duquesne University *\u003cbr\u003eI would absolutely recommend Music Research. The amount of information presented is enough to get students started, but not so much as to overwhelm beginners. It focuses on most of the topics that are important to our students. The inclusion of general introductory sections and explanatory passages is superior to the purely bibliographic listings of other books. * Scott Warfield, University of Central Florida   *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS  Figures  Preface Abbreviations   PART ONE RESEARCH PROCESS AND RESEARCH TOOLS   CHAPTER 1 Guides to the Research Process and Research Tools  Take It Step-By-Step  Research Ideas  Some Types of Music Research  Things to Consider  Research Process  Music Research Process  General Research Process  Research Tools  Music Research Tools  Evaluation Checklist  Suggested Readings   CHAPTER 2 Library Catalogs  Author Searches  Title Searches  Author\/Title Searches  Keyword Searches and Subject Heading Searches  Keyword Searches  Library of Congress (LC) Subject Headings  Format Issues  Keyword Searches and Title Searches  Limiting Search Results  Contents of Bibliographic Records  Examples of Library Catalogs  Local Libraries Library Consortia  National Libraries  Bibliographic Utilities  Finding Library Catalogs  Information Centers  Evaluation Checklist  Suggested Readings  CHAPTER 3 Music Encyclopedias and Dictionaries  Comprehensive Music Encyclopedias and Dictionaries  Music Encyclopedias and Dictionaries by Language  Music Encyclopedias and Dictionaries for Specific Geographical Places  Special Music Encyclopedias and Dictionaries  Biographical Encyclopedias and Dictionaries  Dictionaries of Musical Terms  Encyclopedias and Dictionaries of Musical Instruments  Encyclopedias and Dictionaries of Opera and Musical Theater  Encyclopedias and Dictionaries of Performance Practice  Encyclopedias and Dictionaries of Jazz, Rock, and Popular Music  Miscellaneous Music Encyclopedias and Dictionaries  Evaluation Checklist  Suggested Readings   CHAPTER 4 Periodical Indexes and Article Databases  Major Music Periodical Indexes  Retrospective Music Periodical Indexes  Other Music Periodical Indexes  Ceased Music Periodical Indexes  Periodical Indexes for Related Disciplines  American History  Business  Education  Humanities  Language and Literature  Performing Arts Science and Medicine  Social Sciences and Psychology  Major General Periodical Indexes  Major Newspaper Indexes  Finding Online Journals  Evaluation Checklist  Suggested Readings   CHAPTER 5 Indexes to Music Dissertations, Theses, Conference Papers, and Festschriften  Dissertations and Theses  Indexes of Dissertations and Theses  Music-Specific Indexes of Dissertations and Theses  General Indexes of Dissertations and Theses  Conference Papers and Congress Reports  Indexes of Conference Papers and Congress Reports Music-Specific Indexes of Conference Papers and Congress Reports  General Indexes of Conference Papers and Congress Reports  Festschriften  Indexes of Festschriften  Music-Specific Indexes of Festschriften  General Indexes of Essays  Evaluation Checklist  Suggested Readings   CHAPTER 6 Thematic Catalogs  Bibliographies of Thematic Catalogs  Single-Composer Thematic Catalogs  Examples of Single-Composer Thematic Catalogs  Guides and Locators for Single-Composer Thematic Catalogs  Thematic Catalogs for Particular Repertories  Examples of Thematic Catalogs for Particular Repertories  Collections, Archives, Libraries, and Publishers  Evaluation Checklist  Suggested Readings   CHAPTER 7 Indexes to Music in Complete Works Editions, Musical Monuments, Historical Sets, and Anthologies  Complete Works Editions  Examples of Composers' Complete Works Editions  Musical Monuments and Historical Sets  Examples of Musical Monuments by Place  Examples of Historical Sets by Style Period  Additional Examples of Sets and Series  Anthologies  Examples of Anthologies  Indexes of Complete Works Editions, Musical Monuments, Historical Sets, and Anthologies  Evaluation Checklist  Suggested Readings   CHAPTER 8 Music Histories, Source Readings, and Chronologies  Music Histories  Multi-Volume Music Histories  Music History Series (W.
