Topic 6B: Researching with Grove Music Online
Purpose: Go deeper by refining search strategies in Grove Music Online; like a "rerun" on TV, "research" means "look again."

Try these 3 strategies: 

Strategy 1: What are you looking for?

In NexLearn, different resources look for different types of information. Separating and combining the right resources will help you target your searching

Strategy 2: What terms describe what you're looking for?

Keep a list of search terms you'v used, and of ones you find while searching. Both "abominable snowman" and "yeti" describe the same thing, but some citations may use both terms, and some only one- or the other! Make separate searches with alternative terms; mix it up to see if you've found all there is to find.

Strategy 3: Learn more about searching

From the Oxford Music Online login page, choose Guided Tour
