Music Library and Research Skills - Softcover
Music Library and Research Skills introduces concepts of music research through an understanding of the tools that provide information about music: what types of sources exist, how they are arranged, and how they may best be used to undertake research.
All types of music reference sources are covered, and each chapter includes a narrative discussion about the sources along with listings of selected titles. Music Library and Research Skills is broadly inclusive in its subject matter, with coverage of popular music, jazz, and world music sources as well as sources on western art music.
The book is filled with examples, or "real-life scenarios" that demonstrate use and relevance of selected tools.

Review:
Jane Gottlieb is Vice President for Library and Information Resources at The Juilliard School, and Director of the school's C.V. Starr Doctoral Program. She has taught music bibliography classes to graduate level musicians for more than 30 years. Past President of the Music Library Association (MLA), recipient of the MLA Citation, and past editor of the quarterly journal Notes, Ms. Gottlieb has published widely on various aspects of music librarianship.
"As mentioned earlier in this review, in light of my own evolving path as librarian, educator, and scholar, Music Library and Research Skills is a welcome guide and companion in this journey, and will go far to address the needs of my students as we chart our future course at the ‘‘New American University.’’
