I'm delighted to announce that Oxford Bibliographies Online (OBO) is now live at www.oxfordbibliographiesonline.com. OBO is a project that extends our mission of supporting excellence in research, scholarship and education. We could not have pulled together a project of this scope and magnitude without the exceptional cooperation of the hundreds of scholars who served as editorial board members approving and vetting content as well as our partners in the library community, who have lent us their support and expertise throughout the research and development process. In just a short period of time the service has garnered positive reaction from the press Institutions can now sign up for free trials, and anyone can search and browse the full site, and view the opening sections of each entry. I encourage you to take a look at the site, I think you will be impressed with what you find. ![]() ![]() Tim Barton President Oxford University Press | |||||||||||
