For first-time users, this website is designed as a guide to the main sources of information for your study and research. Search the databases to find journal articles, books and other publications of interest. Within the results lists, 
will sometimes link to the articles online if they are available. When 'Source it' fails, or if your article is not online, you can use the list of Music Journals Online, or, for local print issues, search the journal title in the University of Melbourne Library Catalogue. If we do not hold the items you need, eligible patrons may request them through the Interlibrary Loans service.
