Institutional access

Coming from an educational institution? Get full access to the International Journal of Music for your faculty, staff members and entire student population.

The International Journal of Music is an affordable, high-quality complement to educational institutions’ libraries, providing their music students with access to hundreds of materials – including articles, interviews, videos, and lessons – that will inspire and give them a deeper insight into leading performers from around the world. At the same time, it enables teachers to incorporate valuable scholarly content into their classes.

As an electronic resource, it allows participating libraries to free up physical space and reduce the costs associated with storing collections, thus significantly improving access to information.

The content is always available, with on-campus and off-campus access via IP authentication.

Encourage your librarian to subscribe to the International Journal of Music!

How to log in from off-campus

Option 1: Log in from your library’s website.

Your school’s library website may have an off-campus login link. To use this feature, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your school’s library website.
  2. Search for words like “Databases, A-Z List, eResources, Off-Campus Access,” or something similar.
  3. If they subscribe to the IJM, you will be able to click on the link to the International Journal of Music on your library’s website.
  4. A window should pop up that allows you to log in with your university-issued username and password (the username and password your school gave you to access online courses and school email).

Note: Not sure what your university credentials are? They are usually the username and password you use to check your university email or access your courses. If you still can’t log in, check with your school’s library or IT department to make sure you are using the correct login information.

Option 2: Other access methods.

You are having trouble figuring out how to access the International Journal of Music, even after reviewing the steps above? Talk to your librarian. Your librarian is an excellent source for making sure you find the resources you need as quickly as possible, and they often have the most up-to-date information on how to log in from off-campus.
