Music Journals

We subscribe to many music journals in print and online. Current issues can be found on the 4th floor of Hunt Library, back issues are located on the 3rd floor of Hunt. The Music Index and RILM Music Abstracts are the best databases to search for music related articles, reviews, dissertations and more. RILM is more scholarly, but it is good to try searching both of them to get a complete picture of materials available for your topic. If you don't see a title you want listed below also try searching e-Journals A-Z or Cameo to see if we have electronic access to it.

Several music journals are available fulltext online (Carnegie Mellon users only):
