 In this session chaired by Balázs Mikusi (RISM Editorial Center), three pairs of papers will demonstrate the problems arising from the present situation and contemplate potential improvements to better serve the needs of the research community. In the first pair, Nicole Schwindt (Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Trossingen & RISM Germany) and Nicholas Bleisch (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) will formulate diverse desiderata with respect to vernacular songs both by identifying repertories for which no appropriate research tools seem to be available, and by calling the attention to other fields where one must rely on several tools which, however, happen to offer partially contradicting information.  
 
-The second pair of papers will address two crucial problems encountered when searching plainchant databases: first, how the apparently impressive abundance of online search options tends to cover up the rather incomplete coverage of the underlying databases as well as their problematic presentation and arrangement of the data (Irene Holzer, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München), and second, how the high-tech surface of the search interfaces may mislead users to believe that the scholarly commentary is also cutting edge, so to speak, whereas it has oftentimes been slavishly copied over from age-old and indeed outdated print publications. Finally, we shall receive news about the latest developments of two important projects: Carolin Schreiber (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin) will explain the essential goals of the [Handschriftenportal](https://handschriftenportal.de/) and how upcoming new features will improve its usability specifically for music scholars, while Laurent Pugin and Andrew Hankinson (RISM Digital Center Bern) will demonstrate how [RISM Online](https://rism.online/) could offer its users relevant hits from beyond the core RISM dataset through integration with DIAMM and the Cantus Database.

 The six presentations will no doubt raise numerous questions, thereby giving a kick start [to the next event](https://www.conftool.pro/medren2023/index.php?page=browseSessions&path=adminSessions&print=yes&doprint=yes&form_session=112&presentations=show) that will follow right after, at 11 AM. Chaired by Klaus Pietschmann (Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz & President of RISM), and also including Nicole Schwindt from the previous session, this round table will seek to further elaborate on the difficulties of “Finding musical sources before 1600” by involving a wider circle of experts: Thomas Schmidt (University of Manchester), Manuel Pedro Ferreira (Universidade Nova de Lisboa), Konstantin Voigt (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg), Claudia Fabian (Bayerische Staatsbibliothek München), and Debra Lacoste (University of Waterloo).  
 
 We hope that the discussions will prove fruitful, and RISM can soon expand its coverage of pre-1600 sources by joining a larger network of partners specialized in such early repertories.
