JMI: Journal of Music in Ireland today announced that it is unlocking its entire online archive.
The resource, which can be accessed free at http://thejmi.com/archive, comprises the complete back-catalogue of the magazine and contains hundreds of articles, interviews, reviews and listings.
The publishers of JMI believe the move will stimulate international interest in Irish musical life and provide valuable exposure to Irish musicians and composers.
Moreover, the archive represents a unique record of Irish musical life since 2000, and will be a valuable resource for musicians, composers, students, academics, journalists or anyone worldwide with a serious interest in Irish music.
The resource can be explored with our intelligent site-search facility, or by browsing by date or by the names of contributors.
They’re offering a free resource, a database of very well written relevant articles. And you guys think it’s spam but if whistlemakers waffle on about how they take very seriously the commitment we have made to making the best instruments that we can make you’re happy buying it hook line & sinker
Thank you, Em – that indeed was my point. For someone not really aware of the resource ahead of time, it would not have crossed my mind to click on a link in such a post, entered as it was by a single-poster with the same name as the resource mentioned.
I will actually check it out now, so thanks for the info.
The Chiffboard welcomes the participation of JMI, and appreciates the thoughtfulness and effort of the editors to notify us of the availability of this new, free, valuable and very relevant online resource.
I don’t find this spammy at all. I think their goals are clearly stated, and very admirable. They are offering an incredible resource, especially for those of us who don’t otherwise have easy access to such material. Hats off!
