Music Full-text Online Journals

The Libraries subscribe to JSTOR (Journal Storage), a multi disciplinary full-text archival repository of journal articles. Connect to JSTOR from the A-Z List of Databases link on the Music Library home page. The discipline of music is represented by 83 journal titles. The list of the journal titles and the accessible span of years of full-text coverage are displayed in the Browse by Discipline link in JSTOR. Over half of the accessible titles are ones to which the Music Library has not previously subscribed.

The multi-disciplinary Research Library (ProQuest) databases to which the Libraries subscribe include online full-text articles from several important journals in the field of music. Among others, these include (with the year when full-text commenced):
