How do I access the Westar Music database?
Answer
The link and access information for Westar Music can be found on the Library Research Databases page on Full sail One: https://one.fullsail.edu/support/knowledge_base_articles/administrative/657. Please do not attempt to create your own account.
If you are accessing the database from off-campus, you must complete the form included in the database description on the Library Research Databases page. Instructions will be sent to your Full Sail email.
After navigating to the Westar Music page, you will have the option to search for specific keywords or browse collections by theme. Once you locate the music or sound effect that you would like to use, check to see if the button next to the item reads, “BUY” or “Download.” If the track shows a “download” option, you can simply click the button to download in .mp3 or .wav format. To download the .mp3 version, click on the link and choose “Save Page” from the File menu. This will allow you to save the .mp3 file. If the item reads, “BUY,” click on this button and follow the steps to complete your “purchase.” You will not be charged for this item as long as you are logged in with the correct login information. Once you have completed the checkout process, navigate back to the page that the sound is located on and click on the “Download” button. The sound effects and music on the Westar Music database are available for educational use in projects and presentations, and are all license and royalty-free.
