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 Music

issues, search the journal title in the
University
of Melbourne Library Catalogue. If
we do not hold the items you need, eligible
