LibGuides: Music: Articles/Databases

Why articles?

Databases collect articles and other sources for you to use in research.

Articles help you find arguments to help guide your research as well as examples from scientific experiments, scholarly research, and professional experience. These help prove your points and make your own research more trustworthy to readers.
