• Non-English Language News Sources
  
  LexisNexis Academic provides access to non-English language news sources from a number of countries.  
  
  On the Library’s home page under “Articles and Research Information,” select “General Indexes to All Subjects,” then L/N Academic. Next, select “News” in the top banner.  By “Sources,” select “Non-English Language News, World Library.”  
  
  Searches may be done of the whole set or a single source may be selected.  Well-known newspapers and other news sources are in languages including French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and others.  The full-text of articles is available.
  
  
• Naxos Music Library
  
  The Ryan Library subscribes to the Naxos Music Library (NLM).  With streaming access to more than 25,600 CDs, the Naxos Music Library is the world’s largest online classical music library.  On average, about 500 new CDs are added to the library every month. The Library subscribes to only the classical genre, the largest by far. At least a few selections are available in most of the others from the “Genres” link.
  
  To access the Naxos Music Library, from the Library’s Web site, mouse over “Collections / Catalog”, then “Virtual Resources”, and click on the “Humanities” link.  The Library purchased a ten-user license, so please exit Naxos by clicking the red Log-Out button at the top of the screen.  Also, because several music classes are using Naxos, please do not listen for extended periods of time.
