As of October 9, we have started a trial of Rock’s Backpages. The trial will end on November 15.

Under the tagline “the archive of music journalism,” this resource gathers music publication interviews and reviews from 1960 to the present.

Anyone can register to read a selection of over 500 free articles, but during this trial we get full access to all articles, all audio interviews, and the RBP podcast. According to the website, they add at least 50 articles per week.

Our fundamental question when trying out a resource is: how will this support the learning, teaching, and research happening in the Reed community?

Whether you’re a student, faculty member, or staff member, we welcome your answer to this question! To share your thoughts, please complete our trial feedback form.
