How Do I Find Books on...?

World Music?

The FSU library catalog  will help you find books on World Music owned by FSU and other university and college libraries in Florida..  Here are some searches to get you started:

can help you have a more specific search result.  Notice the subdivisions (time periods such as 20th century or descriptors such as History and Criticism) -- they can help you focus your search even more.
