Click on “Resources for Grades 9-12”
 * I. Online Databases **
 * 1. INFOhio** (www.infohio.org)
 * **World Book Advanced**
 * Type your terms in the search box.
 * Look also at the box on the right that says “Related Information.” This leads you to books, other encyclopedia articles, websites, and magazine articles that may also be helpful.
 * The box under that is “Related Primary Source Information.” That leads you to sources that were written or recorded contemporaneously to the topic that you are researching.
 * You can create a “My Research” account that will allow you to save articles to look at in the future.
 * Notice that your bibliographic citation has already been created for you at the bottom of each article. All you have to do is copy & paste it into your Works Cited page…unless you need to cite using APA style. Then you'll need to take the MLA citation and try to put it into APA format. Mrs. Walker will be happy to help you do this. The easiest way would be to use World Book's Citation Maker (located on the World Book home page under "Create and Share") OR you could refer to section IV: Works Cited (below).
 * **If you are asked for a username and password while working at home, consult the yellow database sheet, complete this online form, or email Mrs.** **Walker: lwalker@finneytown.org**

If you’re starting out at their website, click on “Research and Homework,” then “Research Databases,” then “Art and Music,” then “Grove Music.”
 * 2. Cincinnati Public Library** (www.cincinnatilibrary.org)
 * **The Grove Dictionary of Music**
 * Enter your library card number & PIN (if you do not have one, Mrs. Walker will provide you with a number to use).
 * The database that pops up is called “Oxford Music Online” which actually searches 3 music databases at once.
 * Type your terms in the search box.
 * Results: a brief article may appear with clickable blue links underneath, leading you to even more information that is broken down by subject.
 * **Also note the tabs at the top of the page**. You may be looking at the “article” tab, but if you click on the “works” or “multimedia” or “related content” tabs, you will get even more information.

Obviously there are plenty of websites out there. Here are a few to get you started. Don’t forget to use the ABCs of Evaluation if you decide to try to find some on your own. Also, it’s a good idea to NOT USE Wikipedia for scholarly research. College professors frown upon it.
 * II. Websites **

 * Essentials of Music**

 * Music Notes**

 * Music Resources on the Internet**

There are various books related to music history pulled from the shelves. Some books will have an index in the back of the book. Check the index for your person’s name or the time period that you’re interested in, and then look for the appropriate volume or page numbers. If you really want to check out a book, you can try the Public Library of Cincinnati.
 * III. Books **
 * THE BOOKS ARE TO BE USED IN THE MEDIA CENTER FOR THE DURATION OF THIS PROJECT.**

Go to the **Finneytown Library Media Centers website**: @http://web.mac.com/larawalker/FinneytownLMC/Home.html. Under the Class Projects Wiki box is a link to Citation Makers: MLA and APA. Click on the one that Mr. Kennedy wants you to use.
 * IV. Works Cited **


 * V. Timeline Makers **
 * World Book Student** (www.infohio.orgClick on "Resources for Grades 9-12," then click on "World Book Advanced")
 * Sign into My Research and use the Timeline creation feature (World Book home page, left side of the screen under "Create and Share.")
 * Exporting is a little tricky. You either need to do a screen shot and paste it into a Word document or PPT, OR you need to create a link to it in a Word doc (or PPT or whatever) for Mr. Kennedy to access. See Mrs. Walker for help.
 * If you want to include pictures, find them here: @http://creativecommons.org/ so that you do not violate copyright laws. Make sure that you include all picture citations in your Works Cited page!
