New Databases
The Library is pleased to announce the addition of two new databases from Alexander Street Press - The Classical Music Library and Theatre in Video with BBC Content.
The Classical Music Library is a fully searchable classical music resource—a comprehensive database of distinguished classical recordings. It includes tens of thousands of licensed recordings that users can listen to over the Internet. Users browse, search, click, and then listen to the music.
Theatre in Video with BBC Content contains more than 250 of the world’s most important plays, together with more than 100 video documentaries, online in streaming video—more than 500 hours in all. These definitive performances, by leading actors and directors, have been painstakingly licensed from a wide range of copyright holders. They are now delivered to you over the Internet, in a revolutionary new format developed specifically for drama.
For the first time, students, instructors, and researchers can bookmark specific scenes, monologues, and staging examples and then include those online links in their papers and course reserves. Class assignments and published papers will take on a whole new dimension.
The "with BBC Content" component of this database contains the entire canon of Shakespeare plays produced by the BBC in the late 1970s through the early 1980s and originally shown in the United States on PBS stations. It contains performances by many of the foremost actors of the British stage and screen, including Helen Mirren, Derek Jacobi, Ian McKellen, and Judi Dench among others.
