Alexander Street Press Announces One Month of Free Access to
Smithsonian Global Sound(R)
To let librarians, students, and educators everywhere enjoy all 35,000
audio tracks from around the world, Alexander Street Press is opening
free access to Smithsonian Global Sound(R) for one month.
No passwords or trial sign-ups are necessary-users simply visit
http://glmu.classical.com and they are immediately connected to the
entire database. The free access period will begin on Monday,
October 24th, and run through 17:00 GMT on Wednesday, November 23rd,
2005.
"People around the world should get online, grab their headsets, and
turn on their speakers right now!" said Eileen Lawrence, Vice president
of Sales and Marketing for Alexander Street. "There's something for
everyone here-music from every country and ethnic group, songs for
every musical taste and every age, literature readings, political
speeches, freedom and protest songs-even the sounds of the rainforest.
We're very excited to partner with Smithsonian Folkways Recordings to
bring this free month of access to libraries and scholarly institutions
everywhere."
"The breadth of this collection is very impressive," said Tim Lloyd,
Division President for Music and Video at Alexander Street. "Its unique
nature will make it a valuable addition to libraries that want a
complete world music archive. We think that the free trial month will
make that decision an easy one."
