WorldCat
A vast online catalog citing items owned by thousands of libraries around the world, with information on which libraries own them; includes entries for musical scores and sound recordings; cites journal holdings, but does not provide article access.
Use this resource to initiate inter-library loan requests for books and scores we do not have. When you find an entry for a specific item you need, click on the ILL link you will find there to launch your request with our inter-library loan department.
Few libraries lend sound recordings due to their fragility. However, it is permissible to request them in case a lender can be found.
For anyone familiar with OCLC, WorldCat is the OCLC Online Union Catalog.
This is not a full-text database.

JStor
Full text of journal articles from a large number of disciplines; its specialty is providing backfiles, that is to say, all of the back issues of many important journals in music and other fields.
Caution: JStor is very popular. However, since its specialty is backfiles, this means that it may not provide current issues of the journals you need. Thus, do NOT limit yourself solely to it when searching for articles.
