Contact the Dance Research Librarian (below) for lists of books, articles and videos to give you a head start on your term project, or for general library how-tos, help with locating items and more. Also check out the Ask a Librarian page.
There are three major tools for finding material for your research projects. Here's a quick summary of those tools, available from library.tcu.edu. See the FrogScholar & the catalog tab above for more.
 |
FrogScholar is a flexible, Google-like search tool available from the search box at library.tcu.edu, accessing books, video and sound recordings, journal and newspaper articles and more. For | |
| best results, sign in using your TCU login. [More] | ||
 |
An Advanced Search / catalog search is available at library.tcu.edu by choosing the Advanced Search tab and clicking the "Library | |
| Catalog" button; this will find items in physical form, such as books, DVDs, print journals and more with, in many cases, direct access to online materials like e-books and streaming videos. For best results, sign in (use your TCU login). (Note that the "library catalog" button setting does NOT find articles within journals. De-select that option if you want to include articles.)

 |
Databases are specialized collections of online materials such as journal articles, book chapters, images/music/videos, maps, reports, statistics | |
| and much more. Each database vendor (for example, Alexander Street Press) has its own search interface. Find the databases page from the purple tabs at library.tcu.edu. | ||
For some courses this title may be the text book. It is available from the library's catalog as a three-user ebook (three people may use it simultaneously):
Beaman, Patricia. World dance cultures : from ritual to spectacle / Patricia Leigh Beaman. Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2018. E-book direct link
Dance events in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex are aggregated through "Go See DFW," compiled by the Dallas Morning News (public TV/radio station KERA now uses this for its "Art and Seek" calendar).
The North Texas Dance Council 's "Find Dance / Area Performances" link also lists event information, though upcoming events are only current for one month at a time. NTDC's Dance! North Texas quarterly publication also gives brief listings of events. Dance!... is found on the Council's website (current issue) and past issues are archived.
