And where have I been? Sick, teaching, covering the library with one less staff person.....oh my.

The screen writers are on strike so producers are coming up with a variety of ways to fill the air time.

I noticed the International Bibliography of Theatre & Dance (IBTD) a database in GALILEO which expands on the 16-year coverage of its multi-volume predecessor with an additional 100,000 articles, essays and book chapters mined from internationally selected publications in drama, dance, media, mime, mixed entertainment, storytelling, music-drama, and puppetry. IBTD is a research tool for university theater and language departments, theater organizations, primary schools, social scientists and professionals within the field.

International Bibliography of Theater & Dance with Full Text includes nearly 100 journal titles and over 120 full-text books not included in Academic Search Complete.

IBTD is an Ebsco product (green & blue) fairly straightforward to use- the PDF files will include color pictures!

I did a search for Tony awards and retrieved over 1000 articles. When I looked for Oscar awards - a few hundred but I noticed the other subject term Academy Awards (motion pictures) and that pulled up over 1000! Using the correct search term provides useful results.
