North Hall Library 

New Grove Online
This online music encyclopedia brings together The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musician, New Grove Jazz, and New Grove Opera. Remember: The author of each article is listed at the end of the article.

• Use PILOT to find books, videos, scores, CDs and other materials in our Library, but not journal articles.
• Use Author/Title/Subject search to browse authors, titles, and subject headings.
• Use Guided Keyword to search for keywords anywhere.

To look for books that are not owned by the North Hall Library:

• Amazon.com is also a good place to find books that are in print.
• Borrow the titles you find through E-ZBorrow or the Library's Interlibrary Loan Service.

*If you are asked for an ID or login, type in the barcode numbers on your student ID card.*

RILM Abstracts of Music Literature
Use RILM to find both doctoral and non-doctoral dissertations. Use the Advanced Search to limit the Document Type to "All Dissertations".

Music Index
Music Index contains citations, not abstracts, from Dissertation Abstracts International, a journal containing abstracts of dissertations. To interlibrary loan dissertations you find in Music Index, use the "Dissertations" Interlibrary Loan form on the ILL page.

If you don't find an appropriate dissertation citation, go to the Information Desk. Any of the librarians can help you do a special database search for dissertations.

See a librarian at the Information Desk (662-4671).
