“The EEBO Introductions Series provides scholars with a forum for the exchange of information and ideas relating to some of the less frequently discussed early modern printed texts available in Early English Books Online. Each contribution to the series offers insights into a range of contextual, bibliographical, and reception-based issues associated with a work in EEBO that has received no recent scholarly edition, and which is unlikely to be edited for publication without the interest of the scheme.” Ten introductions are currently available, including “James Mabbe, The Spanish bawd, represented in Celestina: or, The tragicke-comedy of Calisto and Melibea (1631)” by José Maria Pérez Fernández (University of Granada); “Stephen Bateman, The trauayled Pylgrime (1569)” by Marco Nievergelt (University of Lausanne); and “M.R., The Mothers Counsell or, Liue within Compasse. Being the last Will and Testament to her dearest Daughter ([1630?])” by Ulrike Tancke (University of Mainz).

Recent feedback about the Find It! service suggests that there’s some confusion about what a Find It! link is meant to do. A Find it! icon in your list of search results is not a guarantee that MMU has a copy of the article. A Find it! icon simply provides the opportunity to quickly discover if there is an electronic copy available to you and, if no electronic copy is available, you can then link to the MMU library catalogue plus a number of other library catalogues to discover if print copies are available locally. If no copies are available, you can link to instructions on how to request interlibrary loans to obtain photocopies or electronic copies of journal articles and copies of books from, for example, the British Library.

Finally, clicking on Advanced will reveal additional options, including:
.downloading the record to your EndNote library
.creating a permanent link to include, for example, in your WebCT area or reading lists
.and running a search for similar records in Google Scholar

“Based on a seminar first delivered to the Manchester School of Architecture [in 2007], this workshop provides nineteen examples, dating from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, to illustrate the nature of drawing as a tool for the architect to communicate his ideas. The notes and images are accessed via the names of the architects, which include Palladio, Inigo Jones, Nicholas Hawksmoor, A.W.N. Pugin, John Ruskin, Le Corbusier, Buckminster Fuller and a female nineteenth century architect, Ethel Mary Charles. A text list of the images is available as a PDF file.” [Source: Intute: Architecture, 26-11-09]

“The International Computer Music Association is an international affiliation of individuals and institutions involved in the technical, creative, and performance aspects of computer music. It serves composers, computer software and hardware developers, researchers, and musicians who are interested in the integration of music and technology … The ICMA cosponsors the annual ICMC, which, since its inception in 1974, has become the preeminent yearly gathering of computer music practitioners from around the world. The ICMC’s unique interleaving of professional paper presentations and concerts of new computer music compositions—refereed by ICMA-approved international panels— creates a vital synthesis of science, technology, and the art of music.” [Thanks to Mary Pickstone, Library Services Manager, Alsager Site Library for alerting me to this Open Access full-text collection.]
