Art and Music Online!

I am pleased to announce that the Network Board has added two databases to those already available to users of the Kansas Library Card.

1) Grove Art Online presents the entire text of The Dictionary of Art (1996), updated and fully-indexed, searchable and browseable.

2) Grove Music Online is an integrated music resource on the Web,including the full text of The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (2nd edition), The New Grove Dictionary of Opera and The New Grove Dictionary of
Jazz (2nd edition).

Both of the above can be browsed in several ways, or searched by keyword.

Links to the two Groves products are present on the databases page that KSLC users see after they have logged in to their KSLC accounts. The databases are licensed for one year to test user demand.

I will be pleased to answer any questions anyone may have about this.

Best to all,
Eric

Thanks, Eric. I think this is particularly good use of the Kansas Library Network Board funds.
