(Music 786 - Winter 2010)
Sullivant Hall, Room 066A, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, 2:30 to 3:48. Access to the syllabus, email, help pages, and assignments is via Carmen.
Course Objectives: To learn through lectures, class discussions, and independent projects how music and information on music are organized and retrieved in a modern academic research library; to gain critical judgment in using general and music-specific sources, whether print, microform, or digital; and to gain an appreciation of scholarly method and facility in its techniques.
Dr. Keith Mixter began teaching this course in the autumn of 1961, succeeding Henry Kaufman. Though the course has changed in details over the years, its purpose remains the same: to familiarize students with bibliographic sources appropriate for postgraduate research in music, and with the techniques of scholarly research.
