ABSTRACT
Describes the organization and content of a graduate course in music bibliography for musicology and theory students at the masters level and applied students at the doctoral level. The course is designed to be taken early in the student’s masters career and it is followed by specialized courses focusing on methodological problems and special literature appropriate to their majors. The course provides instruction in the areas of research methodologies (including an extensive research proposal), computer-based catalogs and databases, documentation techniques, and reference sources. The organization of the course moves from a general core through rings of literature of greater specificity based on the specific research proposal. The article includes a bibliography of approximately 130 citations of core literature.
