Using the NIU Music Library -- The Music Index

The Music Index is an index to articles published in several hundred music periodicals.   Each bound volume covers one or two years, from 1949 forward. You may also wish to consult the International Index to Music Periodicals (available on the CD-ROM machine in the reference area or on the web via the music subject page of the NIU Libraries Website).

The Music Index can be used to locate articles by subject (including persons as subjects) and author.  For most topics, it is best to start with the most recent issues and work backwards.
