NOTE: New resources listed below are not yet in the CDL Directory of Collections and Services; they will be added within the next 2 weeks. You can access them directly from the URL provided.

A list of recently added content is always available at: http://www.cdlib.org/news/

a. International Index to Music Periodicals (IIMP) and International Index to the Performing Arts (IIPA)

International Index to Music Periodicals full text (IIMP-FT) ( http://iimpft.chadwyck.com) and International Index to the Performing Arts full text (IIPA-FT) (http://iipaft.chadwyck.com) are now available for all campuses.

UC bibliographers have recommended access to these two Chadwyck-Healey products every year that the Joint Steering Committee (JSC) has surveyed their priorities. The Joint Steering Committee recommended that the CDL pursue licenses for these products as part of the larger ProQuest newspaper package. The CDL licensed perpetual access to the IIMP and IIPA indexing/abstracting databases through 2003. The CDL has funded a subscription to the next five years of access to the indexes. In 2008, all campuses will co-invest in annual license fees for the indexing/abstracting content.

ProQuest/Chadwyck-Healey does not own the perpetual rights for the full text, but, at the recommendation of the JSC, the CDL has paid the access fees for five-year subscriptions for both full-text files.
