2. Once you've found an item that looks promising, take a look at the subject headings assigned to it (they are blue and underlined). When you click on the link, it will take you to a list of every book in the Library with that same subject heading. This is a good way to narrow your search results.

An Overview is a book which addresses a time period such as Music Since 1900. Use the index to find your topic; it may be a chapter or just a few pages. An overview is meant to place your topic within the context of the time and larger world.
A Monograph is a book which addresses your specific topic. If you are researching a musician or composer, a monograph could be a biography of that person. If you are researching a genre or style of music, an example of a monograph might be The Classical Style: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven.
