SAVE THE DATE - Friday, June 14th, ALA Conference, Atlanta, GA
In case you haven't heard...
Are you making the most of your OED Online Subscription? Heard about Oxford
Reference Online, but want to know more about it? Want to know what's
happening with American National Biography Online? For those of you
attending the American Library Association's Annual Conference in June, I'd
like to invite you to join the OED development team for a discussion on the
Oxford English Dictionary Online, and from OUP representatives to hear
about Oxford Reference Online's and the American National Biography's
future plans.
Yvonne Warburton, Online Publication Manager, OED and Ande George, Head of
Technology, OED will demonstrate the powerful capabilities of the OED
Online, recently greatly improved with a new Advanced Search Engine. They
will help you maximize your subscription, by showing you how to use the
features available, especially the Advanced Search and the Help section,
and tips and tricks to using the OED - enabling you, in turn, to help your
patrons get the most out of this outstanding resource. They are also
interested in getting feedback from you on your library's experience with
OED to help us better serve you in the future. Please bring your questions,
suggestions and ideas on how to promote usage and future development!
We will also be demonstrating our newest online product, Oxford Reference
Online! With over 100 Oxford Reference titles in a cross-searchable
database, this exciting new resource expects to develop into the biggest
reference site on the web, tapping into hundreds more outstanding reference
products. We'll talk about how it came to be, what it is now, and where
it's going. We'd also like to update you on what's happening with American
National Biography (ANB) Online - and the new Dictionary of National
Biography, 2nd Edition (the equivalent of the ANB, but for the UK).
Seating is limited, so please RSVP as soon as possible. We expect the OED
Online session to run from 9:30-11, and the Oxford Reference/ANB Online
session to run from 1:30 - 3:30pm (lunch will be provided) ALA has not
announced room assignments yet, we will notify you as soon as we have
confirmation of location. Feel free to pass this along to your members and
colleagues as well.
See you in Atlanta!
