Oxford University Press NewsA number of Oxford University Press products have received updates and new features designed to give users the most current and expansive information available today in the reference database world. In addition, each of these products can be test driven for free at www.oup-usa.org/networkfreetrials.
Oxford Scholarship Online (OSO) Selected by Library Journal as one of the Best Reference Databases of 2003, OSO has been enhanced with the addition of new content, bringing the number of books with complete text to 744. The disciplines of philosophy, economics and finance, political science and religion now include expanded title lists. See the What's New section for a complete list of new titles (www.oxfordscholsarhip.com/oso/public/).
Oxford Reference Online: Premium Collection and Core CollectionThree new titles have been added to the Premium Collection including the Oxford Dictionary of English, the Oxford Companion to Military History and the Oxford Companion to Archeology. Both the Core Collection and the Premium Collection have been enhanced with the addition of the Concise Oxford-Hachette French Dic- tionary, the Concise Oxford-Duden German Dictionary, the Concise Oxford Spanish Dictionary, A Dictionary of Ecology, the Oxford Dictionary of Art and the World Encyclopedia.
Grove Music Online New content, features and functionality highlight the enhancements to OUP's Grove Music Online. Approximately 300 biographies from the New Grove Dictionary of Women Composers are scheduled to be added, works-lists of a number of 20th century composers have been updated, and 55 Sibelius-enabled Renaissance musical examples are now included, forming a core of 75 sound examples of some of the most important musical features of early music. The Explore feature offers an index page to direct users to three special categories of content in Grove Music Online: Biographies, Research Resources and Sibelius Musical Examples.
Grove Art Online Significant revisions to 85 articles on Classical Art have been made, including changes to advanced search pages. The What's New page now provides users with access to lists of new and substantially updated articles by category and month of update, and the first major review of all art image Web links has been completed to ensure access to reliable quality images from collections in museums and galleries around the world.
Note: Butler's access is through the efforts of KanEd and the State Library, for which we are all grateful here on campus. Check out the library database page for entry points.
