Getting Materials not at Swarthmore:
If something you need is not available on Swarthmore’s campus then it can be requested through our Tri-College Borrowing and Interlibrary Loan services.
Citing Sources:
Guidelines for style and the documentation of sources for scholarly papers in music and dance follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed. The manual is not available online but thorough explanations can be found in the Chicago/Turabian Documentation section of the UW-Madison Writing Center website. Citing the notes that accompany recordings and scores can be tricky. Williams College has a good citation guide for non-book formats.
