New database -- Oxford Reference Online

The Library has added another quality database to its roster of online research tools. Oxford Reference Online is an excellent database to turn to for quick reference requests, such as word definitions, maps, quotations or short bios of famous people.
Customers can get to it from home with their library card numbers or in the library at any computer with Internet access.


You can find Oxford Reference Online under the Encyclopedias, Reference Resources & Law category on the databases page. Give it a test drive when you can ... here are some questions you can try:

What was the Boxer Rebellion?

Who said "
To err is human; to forgive, divine"?

When was the national flag of Australia adopted?
