This month's trials: The ECU Libraries have temporary trial access to the databases listed below for evaluation purposes only. We encourage ECU students, faculty and staff to examine these resources and provide the Library with input about their usefulness, quality of content, relevance to ECU programs, etc. Ongoing subscriptions to any of the databases will depend on the feedback received, the Electronic Resource Review Committee's review of the database, the cost involved, and the availability of funding. Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale (RILM) Trial access: http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=rih Trial period: August 11 – October 11, 2008 Database description: Documents the music scholarship of some 60 countries. Coverage includes all types and aspects of music. Includes over a quarter of a million abstracts drawn from articles, books, conference proceedings, bibliographies, catalogues, dissertations, festchriften, iconographies, critical commentaries to complete works, ethnographic recordings and videos, reviews, etc. Sponsored by the International Musicological Society, the International Association of Music Libraries, and the International Council on Traditional Music, and produced by the Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale. This trial is for access to the database through the EBSCOHost interface. This interface provides linking that enables users to link from article citations in RILM to related recordings in Alexander Street’s Classical Music Library.
