  • (tonga? AND sound)[in Keyword Anywhere]
• Te Puna: The National Bibliographic Database

• Most recordings or Maori and Pacific music at the University of Auckland are held in the Archive of Maori and Pacific Music and not listed on Voyager. 
• Search Voyager and Te Puna for cassettes and CDs. Under 'Choose Limits' select 'Musical Recording'. You can also add the phrases sound recording OR sound disc (used for both vinyl records and CDs) OR sound cassette to a keyword search. You can also limit to 'Videos/DVDs' or search with the keyword videorecording. Note that many sound recordings are not of music.

These databases cover some New Zealand journals but are mainly useful for articles about New Zealand and the Pacific published in other countries.

  A key index, Anthropology Plus indexes journal articles and edited books in anthropology and archaeology (19th century-). It has more than 800,000 records and uses modified Library of Congress (LC) subject headings (but has no abstracts).
• JSTOR

  Multidisciplinary fulltext and indexing database of academic journals, magazines and newspapers (indexing from 1989- and full text 1992-).

Example Advanced Search (ab (music* or danc*)) And (ab (oceania or polynesia* or tahiti* or hawaii* or tonga* or samoa*))

• Web of Science
  A multidisciplinary database including the Social Sciences Citation Index (1956-). You may search for journal items by the references that they cite (including books or chapters in books). This type of searching often locates relevant articles that cannot be retrieved through traditional subject/author searching. An important tool for tracing the published responses of scientists & scholars to the work of their peers.

Subject Heading Searching

• Subject headings are standardised terms or terminology that represent the major content of a particular work and can help increase the relevancy of your search results. Search for specific subject headings, or search for keywords in the Subject Heading field. Voyager, Te Puna, and Anthropology Plus use Library of Congress Subject Headings.
• A complete list of Library of Congress Subject Headings is available in the General Library.
• Selected Library of Congress Subject Headings are listed below. Many have geographical subheadings (ie. names of countries, regions, towns or ethnic groups).
  • General terms for the Pacific
    Oceania, Islands of the Pacific, Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, Pacific Islanders, Polynesians, Melanesians, Micronesians
  • Countries:
    New Zealand, Samoan Islands, Western Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, Fiji,  Hawaii, Society Islands, Tahiti, Marquesas Islands, etc. 
  • Peoples:
    Maori (New Zealand people), Samoans, Tongans, Cook Islanders, Rarotongans, Niueans, Tokelau people, Fijians, etc.
  • You can also search for the names of performers and groups

 
Keyword searches work better in many cases especially when the subject headings need to be combined.
