  Details - Terms of Use

  IIMP is updated monthly and is often more up-to-date than the other music databases. (It is not as good for pre-1996 literature; see comments below.) It includes citations and abstracts to English and non-English language articles from over 20 countries and covers a broad scope of research from performance, theory, composition, and history, to music education, jazz, ethnomusicology, popular music, and musical theater. It does not contain searchable full-text articles, but it has links from many citations to full-text articles in other databases to which UConn subscribes. IIMP is best suited for finding articles written 1996-present:

  • 1996-present: Summaries of articles in over 400 journals. These include subject headings and abstracts that give further details and offer additional searchable keywords for access to information.
  • Pre-1996: Citations to over 140 periodicals (about 90 go back to inception). These have only article author, article title, journal, date, etc., but no summaries. Keyword searches on specific topics may not find older articles since there are no subject headings or abstracts. However, this resource is useful for verifying known citations of older articles or authors.

  IIMP is compatible with EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager and RefWorks. Users can export citations into these management tools from the 'selected records' page (accessible by following the ?selected records? link) and can also use them to search IIMP via Z39.50.
