Topic: Library Assignment No. 1 for Music
Instruction:
Library Assignment #1: FINDING SOURCES 20 points Due ___________
Goal: Find a minimum of ONE source per category (tertiary, primary, secondary) and be able to list and cite the sources properly, using ONE style of the student’s choice (APA, MLA, or Chicago/Turabian style). NOTE that some sources may fall under more than one category – list the source under one category only.
BONUS: students who find more than one source per category may receive extra points. The source(s) must be identified and cited properly under the correct category to earn extra points.
SUBMISSION: Submit as a typed, PDF document on Turnitin/Canvas before the deadline (refer to the syllabus). Late submissions are unacceptable. If the assignment is missed, students will need to make up the points through extra credit work. If there are errors in your work you may need to do extra credit work to make up the points. Most comments on incorrect or outstanding work will be made either on turnitin OR Canvas – no comments usually means that your work was satisfactory.
INCLUDE THE CATEGORY HEADINGS AND LIST A MINIMUM OF ONE SOURCE UNDER EACH, USING ONE CORRECT CITATION FORMAT OF YOUR CHOICE (APA, MLA or CHICAGO/TURABIAN)
Tertiary Sources (sources that often have a collection of primary and sources together or may have a subject with an explanation or definition. EXAMPLES: dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibliographies, textbooks, manuals, indexes, guidebooks, fact books, directories, chronologies, almanacs)
Primary Sources (original information or new research. EXAMPLES: audio and/or video recordings, diaries, interviews, internet communication, letters, speeches, newspaper articles written during a specific period of time, academic journal articles that present original research, autobiographies, theses and dissertations)
