Welcome!
Welcome to the guide for Dance!
I hope that you will find this guide a useful starting place for your research in Dance. I have assembled a collection of resources available through the Wayne State University Library System, as well as high quality, freely available web resources. This guide is a collaborative work-in-progress, developed with the suggestions and feedback from students and faculty in Dance.
I am available by appointment to assist students and faculty with research related to Dance. You may also contact me to schedule research workshops for classes or to suggest items for purchase.

The library has a number of short online video tutorials (many are less than 2 minutes), that can help you to get started with your research paper.
The library's WSULS Instruction web page includes a list of helpful tutorials.
Some that may be of particular interest include:
- How to Find Articles in a Database (How-to Video)This brief video will show you how to locate an Article Database, search for articles on a topic, narrow your search to scholarly journal articles, and locate full-text of the article.
