Trial Library Databases
When the Library receives a request for a database, many times we will set up a trial
which is a test run to see if the product meets our needs. We currently have trials
for the following databases:
British Periodicals (late 17th to early 20th Century) - This database includes
searchable full text for nearly 500 British periodicals. Topics include literature,
philosophy, history, science, the fine arts and the social sciences.
Library MusicSource - This is an online collection of Western Classical sheet
music for over 35,000 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, piano, organ, voice,
chorus, strings, winds, percussion and guitar.
Access to the trials can be found at http://www.lib.montana.edu/trials/. Try them out
and let us know what you think.
