- Sample Catalyst Search for scholarship on Black music and musiciansAdd more search terms on a 3rd line (click "add a new line"), or adjust the search terms on the first two lines to narrow your search.
CONTENT WARNING: Catalyst relies on the Library of Congress Subject Headings to apply subject tags to works. These Subjects are highly codified and often use outdated and/or offensive vocabulary to refer to people and topics. Here are the phrases to use if you want to search for works about common BIPOC groups (and feel free to ask me if you are having trouble finding what you need).
-- "African American"
-- "Indians of North America"
-- "Hispanic Americans"
-- "Asian Americans"
