Anytime - Anywhere

Heading out of town for the summer or studying abroad in the fall and wondering how you'll survive without access to your amazing music collections at the library?  Don't worry! There are thousands of e-books, e-journals, e-scores, streaming sound, and streaming music & video that you can access at anytime from anywhere.

Our 10,000+ titles e-book collection covers all genres and time periods as well as music business and careers. Conduct a basic Catalog search with whatever musical term applies to your research subject or interest and add, in quotes, "electronic resource."

Journal articles! We have seven article databases dedicated solely to musical topics. You can find them on the Music Research Guide under the tab Databases - Articles. After clicking the database name you'll be prompted to log-in, just use your Tulane user name and password, the same one you use to log into any campus computers and your email.

We have nine databases full of streaming audio. Coverage includes classical music, jazz, blues, folk, new music, traditional and contemporary music, and so much more! You can also access all of these databases from the Music Research Guide under the tab Databases - Sound & Video. Just as the title implies, you'll also find three databases with music videos listed on this same page. Opera, dance, and ethnographic films related to music can all be found here.

Finally, music scores. We have four databases providing access to classical music of all genres as well as some rather fantastic sheet music collections. You'll find them in the same place you found articles and recordings. Go the the Music Research Guide and select the tab Databases - Scores.
