Check for scope notes that identify the contents of the database. Check for advanced search screens and see different ways that the search can be limited. For instance, what dates and types of materials are included in the database? Can it be searched by full text and subject? Can the search be limited by date, language or full text? Each database uses controlled subject headings that can be accessed through the online Thesaurus. For instance, in ERIC, writing centers are called writing laboratories.JournalsReevaluating Common Kodaly PracticesSingers Branching out: How to Choose Repertoire that Will Help Your Chorus Students Fly to New Heights American Music Teacher Illinois Music Educator Journal of Music Teacher Education, Journal of Research in Music Education Music Education Research Music Educator's Journal Philosophy of Music Education Review Teaching Music ML1 .T38 (second floor) ERIC (Subject headings include music education, music activities, piano instruction, music teachers, music techniques, singing, Kodaly method, and auditory training) Additional databases to try include the following: Education Full Text Humanities Full Text Music Index Online TextbooksThe "M" section of the Curriculum Materials area, located in the southwest corner (room L221) of the second floor, has Oklahoma state adopted textbooks in the field of Music.

Educators Interlibrary LoanIf the John Vaughan Library doesn't own what you need, we will get it for you through Interlibrary Loan. It can take up to two weeks to receive materials. The Interlibrary Loan system is called ILLiad, and all requests are conducted electronically.Evaluating SourcesWith all resources, it is important to assess the quality of what you find. Use the following checklist to assist with that determination:1. Identify the author(s) and determine his/her credentials. Does the author have a degree in the field; is the author a professor; does the author have other works published on similar topics? 2. What is the date of the publication? Currency is important in most fields. It is especially important for Web pages. 3. Does the publisher have a good reputation? Is the resource published by a professional association or university press? Is the journal refereed? For Web sites, check the URL to determine the sponsor. Gov sites are government sites; com are commercial; edu are educational. 4. How do the critics perceive the work? Are there reviews available? 5. Is the material complete? Does it have an index, bibliography. Is it well written with few grammatical or spelling errors? 6. Is the language slanted or biased? 7. Does it include references to well known facts or research studies? 8. For Web pages, do the links work? Citing SourcesTo avoid plagiarism, it is important to cite materials correctly. Indiana University has a good guide on plagiarism. To cite the resources that you've found, check the Citation Clip tutorial. Words and Music (Ready Ref. ML 3797.H49) is located on the first floor of the library, Ready Ref.
