Research resources are the materials (print, electronic and multimedia) you consult when writing papers.  This library guide will assist you in locating the various types of dance materials available at Kenyon or through one of our consortial partners.  Print and electronic reference tools will include the following information:

• book citations (also known as monographs) include the author or editor's name(s), book title, place of publication, publisher, and date of publication.
• journal article citations (also known as periodicals or serials) include the author's name(s), article title, journal title, volume number, day/month/year of publication, and page numbers.  This both print and electronic indexes include this information, even if the article is available via an electronic link.
• internet sources include full title of the webpage and the author.  You must include the complete URL link and the date you accessed the resource on your bibliography.
• multimedia citations include title, director/conductor, publisher, date.
