Overview
The Ovid Arts Package is a collection of four Arts and Humanities 'Abstract and Indexing' databases, currently provided on the SilverPlatter platform. The Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA) presents contemporary literature from 1973 to the present day on the visual arts from the 4th century to modern times. The BHA database indexes and abstracts art-related books, conference proceedings, dissertations, exhibition and dealers' catalogues, and articles from over 4,300 periodicals. Abstracts of Music Literature (RILM, also known as Répertoire International de Littérature Musicale) covers international music scholarship, presenting significant writings from 1969-onward in the area of music, from historical musicology to performance practice and notation. The Retrospective Index to Music Periodicals (RIPM) provides annotated indexes to the content of complete runs of music journals published in 17 countries between approximately 1800 and 1950. The International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) contains four databases of global film scholarship, featuring the International Index to Film/TV Periodicals. The 'Intellect Arts and Creative Media Collection' has been excluded from this agreement as this has the benefit of offering a more focused approach to the A&I databases collections.
