Grove Dictionaries of Art and Music Relaunched

The Grove Dictionaries of Art and Music have recently been relaunched.
They are now part of larger gateways called Oxford Art Online and Oxford Music Online.
Both gateways are being marketed as the most substantial electronic reference resources available in these two subject areas.

The dictionaries are still there along with other electronic reference tools as follows:

Oxford Art Online includes:
Grove Dictionary of Art, The Oxford Companion to Western Art, Encyclopedia of Aesthetics and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art Terms. You can also search over 5000 images.

Oxford Music Online includes:
Grove Dictionary of Music, The Oxford Companion to Music and The Oxford Dictionary of Music. We also appear to have access at the moment to the Encyclopedia of Popular Music, but according to JISC and the Oxford website, this is supposedly a separate subscription.

Both will use Athens off campus. The gateways have been made live in the appropriate areas, but Athens access off campus can only go ahead on James's return as he has admin access.
