Bloomsbury Popular Music:
Choice Outstanding Academic Title in Reference and Humanities for 2019
'Not unlike early CD releases that were slapdash reissues of vinyl pressings, some online resources were quick to cash in on the desire for online access to print materials at the expense of doing it well. Bloomsbury Popular Music is the equivalent of the deluxe remastered reissue.' Notes (MLA), September 2019
'This is a scholarly database with an innovative, intuitive design ... Easy to navigate and fun to use, this resource’s content could support students and researchers in a variety of fields related to popular music.' The Charleston Advisor, January 2019
'BPM’s efforts to engage with the possibilities of a digital platform are both laudable and enjoyable.... The timeline and map […] emphasis[e] the joy that comes of unexpected connections thanks to the transparency of networks created by BPM’s metadata categories. Databases like BPM, that recognise the potential of the digital humanities to speak to digital natives, are versatile and invaluable teaching tools […] offering new avenues of research and study for academics, musicians, and students alike.' Fontes Artis Musicae, December 2018
'A good choice for libraries supporting academic programs in music and the performing arts.' Booklist, December 2018
‘Bloomsbury Popular Music is highly recommended for academic libraries with a focus on music, offering a user-friendly platform that is invaluable for studying music around the world.’ Library Journal, July 2018
