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 at the upper right corner using your TCU login. | ||
 |
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 at the upper right corner (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 at ProQuest
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.
