IT'S INTERNATIONAL

RILM indexes music scholarship & publishing from around the globe (that includes 151 countries, and writings penned in 214 languages).

Most indexed information is available in English, including the abstract. However, RILM is working to add abstracts written in the item's native language.

A IS FOR ABSTRACTS

Each RILM record contains an abstract* of around 200 words that provides you with a summary of an item's content.

Abstracts are an excellent tool for quick evaluation of an item's relevancy to your research need.
