Why use a bibliography?
Bibliographies save you time!
A bibliography lists sources on your topic, and sometimes there are annotations that help you better understand what a source is about.
Bibliographies you can use

Access to brief introductions and extensive annotated bibliographies of topics in music research with an emphasis on composers and their works as well as periods in music history.
Print bibliographies are in the Reference section of the Music Library.
To see if there is a bibliography on your topic, try searching IUCAT by adding keywords such as:
- guide
- bibliography
- research
- sources
For example, a search for "guide research mozart" might lead you to a bio-bibliography about Mozart.
