Focus on: Oxford Music Online (including Grove Music)

Oxford Music Online is a gateway that offers users the ability to access and cross-search the resources of Oxford's music reference in one location. The cornerstone of Oxford Music Online is Grove Music Online. For more in-depth information about the editorial changes behind the Grove relaunch, please visit the Grove Music Online page.
Oxford Music Online also features the Encyclopedia of Popular Music — online for the first time by popular demand. The most comprehensive reference work devoted exclusively to popular music, the Encyclopedia is the authoritative biographical encyclopedia of rock, pop, and jazz artists, covering popular music from 1900 to the present. It is exhaustive, meticulous and authoritative. The database also contains The Oxford Companion to Music and The Oxford Dictionary of Music . Other features include Music Timelines, Topical Guides and Research Resources.
Check out Oxford Music Online under 'Electronic resources' on the Library webpage, or click here.
