Dance Research Guide  

Use this guide to find articles, books, reference sources and more for research in dance. The guide focuses on online resources, which can be accessed either within the library or remotely. In addition to online resources, selected print titles are included. The guide lists basic resources and does not contain all of the materials in the library useful for dance research. For additional resources consult other relevant subject guides, the Hawaii Voyager Library Catalog, or the librarian for dance, Theodore Kwok.

Sinclair Library houses the Music Collection and the Wong AV Center, where you will find DVDs, CDs and more.
