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. Click on the FrogScholar & the catalog tab above for a further look.
FrogScholar is a flexible, Google-like search tool available from the search box at library.tcu.edu, accessing everything that the catalog does, PLUS | ||
most of TCU's databases, connecting you to books, journal and newspaper articles, videos and more. | ||
The TCU Library catalog is a precision tool for obtaining information on books, DVDs, journals and more, with direct access to some online materials | ||
like ebooks and streaming videos. It does NOT find articles within journals. The catalog is available from the library homepage or library.tcu.edu/catalog. | ||
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 from the center section at library.tcu.edu and from most of the "Services" sub-pages. |
If you need to attend a dance concert for your class, try attending one of TCU's dance concerts. For a wider selection of events, KERA's Art & Seek Dance page offers lists of upcoming community events:
