Performing Arts Online

Music & Performing Arts Online brings the International Index to Music Periodicals (IIMP) and the International Index to the Performing Arts (IIPA) together in one site, enabling users to search both resources simultaneously. Together, these core resources offer comprehensive coverage to support the study of music, theatre, dance, television, film, and other performing arts.

The International Index Music Periodicals Full Text, is a music journal resource with more than half a million indexed articles, plus detailed abstracts and full text from 1874 to current, covering the scholarly to the popular. IIMP Full Text is an unrivalled resource for music research. It provides indexing and abstracts for more than 420 international music periodicals, plus full text for 83 journals. No other individual resource has comparable index-plus-full text coverage. International Index to Music Periodicals includes music from the musical theatre and film and offers the complete picture of research for composers, performers, and works.

The International Index to Performing Arts Full Text, covers current articles from over 52 journals, including American Cinematographer, Dance Chronicle, Film Criticism, Journal of Popular Film and Television, Puppetry Journal, and more. Combining the power of access via the International Index to the Performing Art's thesaurus-controlled indexing with the added depth of full text searching, this database delivers complete information from popular and scholarly performing arts journals.Full content details are available at:

Responsibilities transfer

From 1st October 2011, this site will not be updated, so please treat it as the static archive it is. This is because <a target="_Blank" href="http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/">Arts Council England</a> has now taken over museums and libraries responsibilities. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">The National Archives</a> has assumed responsibility for strategic leadership of the Archives sector. Arts Council responsibilities will also now include the Renaissance programme, Museum Accreditation, and Library Development, together with cultural property services such as Export Licensing and the Acceptance in Lieu scheme. The National Archives has assumed responsibility for providing strategic leadership to the archives sector and advising government on its development. The MLA is now winding down, with a skeleton staff remaining until May 2012 to complete the management of existing Renaissance contracts, complete outstanding financial and contractual arrangements and prepare for the appointment of a liquidator. This website will remain live until 31st March so that the public still has full access to the material on it – good practice case studies, toolkits, guidance and a range of other publications.  Continue reading
