Every Cloud has a Silver Lining - more E-Resource Access for RCS this week!

Whilst we are in lockdown, e-resource providers are kindly upgrading our access to a number of databases.

So, musicians, we now have Music Index with full text - you will remember how important those three little words are!  Experimental searches have yielded great results, so do give it a try.

We also now have RILM abstracts with full text, again making results much more accessible and useful.

And the giving just doesn't stop - there's also RILM Music Encyclopedias and RIPM Preservation Series, which searches music periodicals.  

New content is being added every week, so do keep checking back. 

  • we have almost 18,000 e-format items in the Library catalogue
  • this includes over 12,000 online scores, 3195 e-books, and 2471 e-playscripts/drama e-books. 
  • Top Tip: Use the advanced search and narrow using item type, location & collection.

If we can help with any enquiries, please do get in touch at library@rcs.ac.uk

Best wishes,
The Library Team
