Music Therapy Research
Music Therapy research requires an interdisciplinary approach. For first-time users, this website is designed as a guide to the main sources of information.
You are advised to use SuperSearch as the comprehensive research gateway to resources and the sub-category Music Therapy is recommended. More about SuperSearch, from Researching Music tutorial, Faculty of Music, University of Melbourne.
Search the databases to find journal articles, books and other publications
of interest. Within the results lists, the 'Source it' icon
will link to the articles online if they are available. When 'Source it'
fails, you can use the Find e-journal search, or use the Music Journals List A-Z. If we do not hold the items you need, eligible patrons may request them through our Interlibrary
Loans service.
If you have a question about locating the information you need, contact us for expert assistance.
