How to Find Books
Use Fogler Library's catalog, URSUS, to look for books. There are other libraries in this catalog, as well; look for O or ORO to tell if a book is here. If you want to order a book from another library, click on the Request button on the top of the page. You will be asked for your name and barcode (on the back of your MaineCard).
Ways to Identify Articles
Music Index Online - has Article Linker
RILM Abstracts - has Article Linker
Academic Search Premier - has Article Linker
Google Scholar - generally, not as up to date, nor as comprehensive, as the above databases; does not have Article Linker
Article Linker (click for a demo) allows you to automatically check URSUS for electronic and/or print subscriptions.
Interlibrary Loan - use for journal articles we do not have access to
Citing Sources
It is very important to cite words and/or ideas you take straight from another work and put into your paper. Your instructor will let you know what specific format to use. We have print guides at the Help Desk, or you can use Quick Reference: Citation Guides.
Still Unsure...?
There are lots of ways to get help. First, try the Help Desk - you can come in, call us at 581-1673, or use the Ask-a-Librarian chat or email service. Nancy Lewis is the Music Librarian; you can send her an email on FirstClass (nancy.lewis@umit.maine.edu) or call her at 581-3613 to set up an appointment.
