[Mandy Knapp]

 Hello all,

I hope you are having a lovely day today.  As you know, we are getting
several new statewide databases July 1. Today I'd like to bring two to your
attention: *Oxford Research Encyclopedias *and

* Very Short Introductions* The *Oxford Research Encyclopedias* offer
long-form overview articles written, peer-reviewed, and edited by leading
scholars. Each of the twenty-five distinct encyclopedias cover both
foundational and cutting-edge topics in order to develop, over time, an
anchoring knowledge base for major areas of research across the humanities,
social sciences, and sciences.* Oxford Classical Dictionary* and  *Encyclopedia
of Social Work *are two of those encyclopedias.

a huge range of subjects. In this digital resource, hundreds of titles can
be searched at once, opening up new pathways across subjects. Students can
use Very Short Introductions to con sider study options, embark on a new
module, topic, or essay, or revise a particular subject.  Teachers and
other educators can assign chapters, or whole books to students. Adult
learners can also gain new insights through an introduction to a topic
