For graduate music history and theory students, performers, and educators, Bayne (music, U. of Tennessee, Knoxville) explains how to research and write about music in this text based on a course she has taught to graduate students in music bibliography. She reviews resources such as library catalogs and reference books; explains citation and style manuals; and presents different types of writing examples. She then discusses searching in catalogs and journal indexes, thematic catalogs, and music resources and how they are cataloged, from scores to journals and teaching publications.
