III. Finding & Evaluating Information

Coverage

Does the material discuss the subject desired? Is the discussion broad or specific? Does it provide the level of detail needed? Is it limited to a specific time period?

Example: Vocal arts medicine : the care and prevention of professional voice disorders

This book on voice disorders includes one chapter on performance anxiety. This is an example of a resource that may be too narrow for the topic. However, it may be worth perusing to provide more detailed information about performance anxiety in vocalists.
