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
