Your username and password are the same ones you use to log in to MySHU or your SHU email. If you are having login problems, please contact the Solution Center Help Desk (helpdesk@setonhill.edu or 724-830-1805).

How to search:

• In EBSCOhost databases, clicking the "Peer Reviewed" box will limit your search to "scholarly" or "academic" articles.
• Type a few keywords in the search box. Choose the words or phrases that best represent your research question or topic.
• Use the limiter options to narrow down your results list (limit the date range, source type, etc.).

Finding the article itself (an abstract is a summary, not a source!):

• Many articles are in full text; PDF format is best.
• In EBSCOhost, the "Access Options" and "Access Now" buttons will link you to the full text.
• If we do not have full-text access to an article you need, check our Publication Finder (the "Browse Journal Titles" tab on the library website) to see if we subscribe in print or a different database. If we don't have a subscription, you may request the article through interlibrary loan.

In addition to our online collections, we offer key music journals in print.  The following titles are available for all listed years in our print journal collection, located in the O'Hara Room on the ground floor of the Learning Commons:

Instrumentalist  (1960-2016)

Journal of Band Research  (1983-2016)

Journal of Singing  (1995-2016)
