- Critical Studies and Performance Practice: over 400 e-books about performing arts, and over 60 videos in the Physical Actor collection about performance practice.
- Music Index with Full Text: Over 170 music journals as full-texts. The collection covers different genres from folk, rock, and blues to classical and experimental music.
- Maison ONA: French contemporary music publishing house’s catalog of sheet music in electronic format.
All library databases and other online services can be found from the database list.
Access to the following databases has changed as of 2021:
- RIPM database has been cancelled due to low usage.
- RISM database is openly available to everyone at https://opac.rism.info/.
The library has several databases on trial use every year, and you can propose new databases to be acquired by the library. All new databses for 2021 were in trial use in spring 2020. New database acquisitions are decided at the end of previous year, and they are partly determined by annual budgets and the library’s collection policy.
Please send us your feedback about databases and online services.
