Reviews of the Premium Collection
"Consistently one of our highest-used resources...and one of the most popular with students" — Claire Grace, Electronic Resources Manager, Open University Library

"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 best 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)

"Most important, I'm skeptical about a lot of what I encounter on the web, but I trust everything I read in an Oxford Companion. There are some great brand names among reference works, such as Bartlett's, Benet's, Britannica, Roget's, and Webster's. At the top of the heap is Oxford. If you read something in one of these books, you can take it to the bank." — National Review Online

About OUP
Oxford University Press is the world's largest university press, familiar in over fifty countries worldwide for a diverse publishing programme that includes dictionaries, scholarly works, bibles, music, textbooks, and journals.

Oxford's long and illustrious history of publishing reference works began in 1884 with the publication of the first fascicle (section) of the Oxford English Dictionary, covering A-Ant.

The very first Oxford Companion - to English Literature - appeared in 1932 and gave birth to the now famous series of A-Z reference books that cover topics from Art to Wine.

Every year Oxford publishes many new dictionaries and reference books, and since the launch of Oxford Reference Online in 2002, we have been making more and more of them available online.
