A. 1.  Academic OneFile, Academic Search Complete and Jstor are the databases that contain mostly full text articles.

2.  IIMP contains mostly music articles. You should not limit your search to this databse; instead, use as many databases as you can.

3.  Jstor contatins only scholarly articles.  Academic OneFile and Academic Search Complete contatin both scholarly and popular articles.

4.  An on-line source is a source available on the web  Articles from the databases are not on-line sources.

5.  I have searched 4 databases in my research project so far.

B. 1.  You can best determine if a source is relevant to your search by reading the abstract, which is a summarly of what the article will talk about.

2.  I have not had to order any articles from interlibrary loan.

3.  I have not had much luck finding secondary sources dierectly related to my topic.  However, I am continuing my search.
