Google Book Previews Added To Library Catalog

Google Books may contain information about a title that can help in making decisions about a book’s value, and it might even contain needed text. Having access to even limited text may be helpful at times. To facilitate your access to Google book content for titles in the Temple University Libraries’ collections we have added the ability to quickly view Google book records for books we own. The icon for “Google Preview” is located in the individual record for each title for which it is available (not every book we own is found in Google Books). Here is an example: googbookprev.jpg Simply click on the Google Preview icon and the information will appear is a new browser window. We are looking for new ways to make our library catalog more valuable to you. Please share your suggestions.

ScienceDirect Enhancements

From the Elsevier factsheet [pdf]:

Elsevier and ScienceDirect have partnered with NextBio to provide
researchers with text-mining tools and research data from high-
quality publicly available sources of information.

This enhancement on ScienceDirect provides researchers with
intelligent connections extracted from ScienceDirect content
(published from 1995) as well as ScienceDirect peer-reviewed
literature together with publicly available research data as compiled

Find Scores of Classical Music by Black Composers

Based on Professor Richard Greene’s excellent site, “Classical Music Recordings of Black Composers“, Black Composers – Scores provides links of composers’ names to library holdings of scores of Black composers of classical music. Clicking on a name will yield the composer’s scores in Worldcat, the combined online catalogs of thousands of libraries worldwide. Clicking on the title of a work will show the libraries that own the work. Musicians wishing to perform a work can check if a local library has the score to a particular work, or request a score on interlibrary loan. It is our hope that this tool will encourage increasing numbers of performances of this beautiful and overlooked repertoire. Enjoy!
