| RILM covers all types of publications on music, in all media: books, journals, online resources, research-based sound recordings and films, dissertations, and more (see a complete list of document types). Publications represented in RILM originate from 151 countries, from Albania to Zimbabwe, and are compiled through a collaborative effort between the International Center and over 60 committees across the globe. Over 500,000 records in 214 languages include title translations into English and abstracts in English; the latter are now supplemented with abstracts in the language of publication. All non-roman writing systems such as Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and Hebrew are also represented. Currently RILM grows at a rate of 30,000 records each year. You can browse the titles of over 10,000 journals covered by RILM. RILM has dedicated significant resources to the coverage of ethnomusicology and popular music and jazz studies over the past two decades; the positive results of these efforts can be seen in the charts below. RILM is also committed to establishing an interdisciplinary context for music studies, and therefore actively tracks publications in a wide range of disciplines that includes anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art history, dance studies, dramatic arts, librarianship, literature, pedagogy, philosophy, physics, psychology, sociology, and therapy. Coverage begins with publications from 1967 and continues through the present. Retrospective projects fill in selected publication types from earlier years. Speaking of Music: Music Conferences, 1835–1966 , an annotated bibliography of papers published in conference proceedings, was issued in print in 2004; it is now available online, providing continuous coverage of conferences from 1835 to the present. A similar retrospective bibliography of Festschriften in honor of music scholars was published in print in 2009, with entries dating back to 1840.
