(IPM) Index to Printed Music: Collections & Series
http://proxy.libraries.uc.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?profile=ehost&defaultdb=ipm
The Index to Printed Music: Collections & Series combines the Index Database, the Bibliography Database, and the Names Database into the only electronic title for finding individual pieces of music printed in standard scholarly editions. Because it indexes each individual piece in a collection, it provides superior access for scholars, performers, teachers, and other researchers. Music for specific performing forces is easily retrievable, thus offering detailed repertory for performers, conductors, and directors of ensembles.
The Left Index (LI) is a complete guide to the diverse literature of the left, with an emphasis on political, economic, social, and culturally engaged scholarship inside and outside academia. A secondary emphasis is on significant but little known sources of news and ideas. Other topics covered include the labor movement, ecology and environment, race and ethnicity, social and cultural theory, sociology, art and aesthetics, philosophy, history, education, law, and globalization. Historically significant early Left publications such the The People (est. NY 1891) and The Class Struggle (1931-1937) along with classic texts by Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Engels, and others written in the formative years of the Left, also are covered.
