E-Journals -- Music
Scholarly journals and other electronic serials to which the UNC Chapel Hill libraries subscribe. The libraries will also have many of these in print which can be used when the entire run of a publication is not online. Keep in mind, too, that the campus libraries hold thousands of serials which are available only in print. In addition, many Electronic Indexes and Databases provided through the libraries contain full-text articles and the E-Journals list cannot yet identify these. If you have questions about E-Journals or about locating serials contact the Reference staff in one of the libraries, in person, by phone or e-mail, or using the new "Live Online Help" service. See Ask a Librarian for information. Keywords: music, musical, scholarly journals, electronic journals
