 Hi, my name is Catherine. I'm the Music and Fine Arts Librarian at the University of Alabama. This video is an introduction to finding scores and audio recordings of music with the Library's Discovery Tool Scout. One of the advantages of using Scout is that it allows us to simultaneously search the library's catalog electronic resources and databases. Starting at the library's homepage, lib.ua.edu, select the Scout link from the quick menu. This will take you to the basic search. In Scout, we can search by keyword, phrase, title, author, or a combination of several search terms. For example, let's say we want to find a score of Aaron Copeland's Lincoln Portrait for Speaker and Orchestra. We're going to start by searching for the composer's name in the title of the piece. Since we want to search for the title as a phrase, we're going to add quotation marks around Lincoln Portrait. When we run the search, Scout returns a large number of hits, in this case over 2,000. This includes resources like academic journal articles, audio recordings, eBooks, periodical scores, and more. In order to narrow our results by format, we can use the filtering options on the left side of the results page. Scroll down to Source Types and select Show More to view the complete list. From this list, we can select Source Types by checking the corresponding boxes. Selecting music scores will limit our results to only 9 hits, including both print and electronic resources. This item is an electronic version of the score that can be accessed by selecting electronic item available online. Click here. We also have a print score that can be checked out from the library. The library catalog information on this page tells us the score can be found in the music library, located on the first floor of the Gorgas Library. The call number is also listed for locating the item on the shelf, and we can see that the item is available for checkout. We can also select the title to view the full Scout record, which will contain additional information about the resource. To find a recording, we can change our Source Type to Audio. Our search results contain a number of streaming recordings that can be accessed online, like this one from the Naxos Music Library. In Scout, we can use additional information in our search, such as the names of conductors, performers, ensembles, and record labels to narrow our results. We can also add terms like CD, compact disc, or LP to search for a particular format. That's all for now. Thank you for watching.
