Finding a Journal

Are you looking for a specific article from a dance, music, or theatre journal? Do you just need any article from a specific dance, music, or theatre journal?

Here's one way to use the Music Easy Search tool on our home page to do that.

First, type the name of the journal in the search box. You can be precise and use quotation marks around it to keep those words together if you want.

Then, check the top of the results screen to see if Easy Search has suggested a match:

Once you click on the link, you'll get a list of choices. Check carefully to see which article tool has the dates you need.

The other way to approach this search is to use the new Online Journals and Databases tool linked from our site. This is recommended if you are looking for a journal that is not in dance, music, or theatre.
