Leave a reply

africa wide logoThe Library has set up trial access to Africa Wide Information (Ebsco) until 30th June.

Africa-Wide Information comprises an aggregation of 50 databases sourced from Africa, Europe and North America.  Africa-Wide provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary information which documents research and publications by Africans and about Africa.

Africa-Wide covers close to 4 million news articles,  scholarly publications articles, books, reports, theses, citations, and grey literature.  Records include article abstracts and some full text with keyword indexing to enhance relevant retrieval.  The coverage is comprehensive from the 18th century to current and dates back to the 16th century.  Africa-Wide Information is an essential resource for those with an interest in African research and publications and for those doing research in an African context, no matter the subject field.

See the full list of databases included in this trial along with their descriptions at http://www.nisc.co.za/products/22/databases/africa-wide-information

Classical Scores Library: Volumes III and IV

Leave a reply

SHMUWe have trial access to Classical Scores Library: Volumes III and IV until the 1st November.

Vol.III  of Alexander Street’s Classical Scores Library series brings together 400,000 additional pages of in-copyright editions from composers worldwide.  The collection provides editions from major publishers like Chester Music, Novello & Company, Faber Music, Wilhelm Hansen, Donemus, and others. It provides expanded coverage of great choral works and instrumental scores for brass, woodwind, and other instrument groups.

Vol.IV  of Alexander Street’s Classical Scores Library series places particular focus on canonical contemporary composers from the 20th and 21st centuries. With many scores newly digitized for the academic market, or licensed directly from the composers themselves, music scholars and faculty will find Classical Scores Library: Volume IV to be a reliable source for authoritative scores of the classical canon, as well as a resource for the discovery and dissemination of lesser-known contemporary works.

Access this trial via the E-Resources Trial Webpage or DiscoverED where the first two volumes of the Classical Scores library can also be found – search for “Music & Performing Arts”
