Proquest

I did a Proquest search for music education. There were 181021 results coming from scholarly journals, magazines, newspapers, trade journals, other sources, wirefeeds, books, reports and conference papers and proceedings. LOTS! Before the full text articles, there was an abstract of the article. It is amazing that you can find full text articles online.

I am noticing that many of my cohorts are affiliated with the library in some way. I am a parent and part-time music teacher. Even so, I am finding all these resources VERY useful.

I searched for a music publication and found The American Music Teacher. I chose to browse the current issue. It listed all 34 articles in order of occurance in the magazine. I also had the option to reverse order. You could mouse-over the preview icon and view an abstract of the article.

Right this very moment, I'm not sure if I personally will use Proquest as much as the other resources.

  1. Hi, Jenn! Thanks for your comments. We like ProQuest for its breadth of information from popular, trade, and scholarly journals. You can see that you can read an expensive journal cover to cover in ProQuest for free! We are glad to see that you are finding the State Library e-resources useful. They are here for you when you need them!
