Oxford Reference Online Reviews

"Consistently one of our highest-used resources...and one of the most popular with students"
Claire Grace, OPEN UNIVERSITY, UK

"Run (virtually), do not walk, to the Oxford University Press web site and sign up for a trial of the new Premium Reference Collection ... Both thumbs are way up for Oxford Reference Online: Premium Collection. It's bigger, it's better, the content is superb, and the design makes use of some of the most impressive features we've seen in online reference publishing. Recommended for any and every library. This is a top-quality resource."
Library Journal (March 2004)

"The new turbocharged online database from Oxford University Press puts the serious back into serious research ... subscribers can access the equivalent of 20 feet of books that include perhaps the most carefully compiled library on Earth."
Chicago Tribune (February 2004)

"Oxford University Press (OUP) has an excellent reputation as a publisher of reference books and that translates into the first-rate content in Oxford Reference Online (ORO): The Core Collection ... [It] presents libraries with an effective way to provide access to an impressive array of valuable resources in a consistent and integrated way. As the embodiment of the high-quality, authoritative ready-reference book in electronic format, ORO is suited to virtually any library setting."
Library Journal's netConnect (October 2003)

"An authoritative, efficient, one-stop shop for quick facts, definitions, and dates, [which] satisfies the great expectations raised by Oxford's reputation in reference publishing ... While it is true that these separate facts and definitions can be found by scouring the Web, no reference site, free or fee based, draws them together so well.!
Choice

"An impressive collection of quality ready-reference materials ... It's hard to imagine any library or user who will not find this collection useful. Highly recommended."
Library Journal

"Exactly the sort of site that the web had been crying out for ... fast and efficient ... will provide both teachers and students alike with a great resource."
