Librarian: Liza Vick, Langson Library 141, (949)824-3509, lvick@uci.edu

Goals of this session:


Four types of research strategies:

1. Interviewing experts (your teacher and other experts in the field)

2. Browsing.
 
Call number ranges for Dance
GV 1580-1799.3  Dancing
Z 7514 Dance bibliographies and catalogs

3. Footnote/Bibliography Tracking.
Find a good book or article and use the footnotes or bibliography to lead you to additional information. The assumption is that the author has researched this field and identified the most important sources.

Try looking at bibliographies in major encyclopedias like:
International Encyclopedia of Dance. 6 vols. (Reference GV 1585 I586)
New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians 20 vols. (Reference ML 100 N48).

4. Structured Approach.
Use online library catalogs with Library of Congress subject headings for finding books, videos, etc.
Use indexes/abstracts to find articles, essays, book chapters, and dissertations.

Tricks to finding dance videos:

1. All the UCI videotapes are listed in ANTPAC. One strategy is to do a keyword search under danc* and use the "Select Collection" limit (2nd pull-down menu) to limit to Fim and Video Collections.  This picks up all the videorecordings with the truncated word of dance, dancing, dances, etc.  Use help menus for tips on boolean searching and truncation.   This is not a comprehensive list. Some videos are under Ballet; or under the choreographer's name.  Keyword searching is often effective especially for variable titles and performer names.

2. On ANTPAC, do a keyword search under dance festival. This picks the American Dance Festival videotapes.  Likewise, a keyword search on Balanchine, limited to Film and Video Collections (pull-down) will bring up Balanchine archival videotapes.

3. In CDL/MELVYL Catalog, do a series search under Eye on Dance. There are over 450 videotapes from this "Eye on Dance" series located at UC Riverside. These videos were purchased with shared UC campus funds, so you can borrow them via Interlibrary Loan. 

Go into MELVYL and select power search.  Then select series from the search drop-down menu.
Type Eye on Dance in the search box to the right and click Submit Search
Search result:  453 records at all libraries
