Directly Locating the Streaming Resources
1. Standard, generic access: via the library’s Articles &
Databases Web page (link on the Library home page). Select
subject: Music twice, then Streaming Audio & Video. Also
videos on 2nd pull down box or under “See all tools” for core
Video “database” list. No similar option yet for audio
databases—stay tuned (they are listed by title).
2. More focused and faster access: Mendel Music Library Web
site, “Quick Links” column under “Sound Recordings” or
“Video Recordings” (new Web site coming any day now) —
which takes you here:
3. Music Research Guide (LibGuide) under Sound Recordings or
Video & Multimedia tabs.
4. For frequent, quick access to these resources: bookmark the
links to your favorites.
5. Note: If connecting from off-campus, you must have VPN
running in the background for the links to authenticate you as
a Princeton user.
