Music Research Portal
Search the Library Catalog for Women in Music
BASIC SEARCH:
- The library catalog, USearch, can help you hone in on your research topic as you find materials that we have access to on campus.
- You can use the Basic Search with keywords related to your topic or composer/performer/conductor:
- EXAMPLE: Clara Schumann AND piano
- EXAMPLE: Orchestra AND american women composers [searching the catalog does not require capitals]
- See the tab on this guide called "Using the Library Catalog to Find Music and Music Research Resources" for a video tutorial. You can also contact the music librarian for a quick consult.

- Choose "Subject" -- "is (exact) -- "feminism and music" -- Search:
