Welcome to the Ethnomusicology LibGuide, your library portal to a wealth of information about the study of Ethnomusicology and musics of the world's cultures.  If you're looking for another musical style or subject, check the following other guides:

• Classical Music
• Popular Music
• Music Education, Performance, Theory & Composition

This LibGuide is a work in progress, and I'm always on the lookout for new resources.  If you have suggestions for books, journals, internet sources, or other research materials, or have ideas for improving the LibGuide experience, please email me (jvasche [at] sfsu.edu) and let me know!

Here are some select databases that are particularly useful for ethnomusicology research to get you started. Go here for an alphabetical listing of all the electronic databases at the library. You can also go directly to databases by subject; depending on your research topic, databases in other disciplines (such as anthropology, ethnic studies, etc.) may also prove helpful.

These audio resources can be checked out in person at the Media Services counter in HSS 127.  Check the library catalog for more ethnomusicology related audio.

Special thanks to former music librarian Laura Moody for her original creation and contributions to this guide. She is now a librarian at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Follow her on Twitter and her blog.
