The URV library is currently acquiring a substantial reading list of texts and DVDs related to popular music in general, and specific artists to be considered. I will update the resources lists on the course's Moodle site as and when such new material becomes available. It is my intention to make the musical material we will study available in mp3 format. However, I am currently discussing with technical staff the best way to make this available. As soon as this problem is resolved I will inform you through the course's Moodle site how to obtain the music. |

| Recomanacions |

| I recommend the students to start thinking about which artist or band they would like to consider as a subject of their research, and to begin collecting material (articles, journalism, books, photos, CDs) to help them in their research work. This will be discussed near the start of the course with the tutor. |
