Oxford University Press launches new librarian newsletter
Oxford University Press has launched Illuminea
<http://www.oup.com/illuminea/> , a new quarterly newsletter for
academic librarians and information professionals. This publication will
keep readers up-to-date with the latest developments at OUP and across
the publishing world.
'Richard Gedye, Research Director for Journals at OUP, and member of the
Editorial Team said: 'After careful and thorough discussion with the
library community we have developed a strong and broad source of
information for those interested in the entire range of resources we
publish, as well as topical issues affecting librarians. We hope that
Illuminea will become an integral part of our wider strategy of constant
dialogue and engagement with the library community.'
Innovation is the underlying theme of the launch issue. The lead article
looks at Oxford Bibliographies Online, a revolutionary resource tool,
designed to help busy researchers find reliable sources of information
by directing them towards useful books, chapters, journals, websites or
databases. Its aim is to combine the best features of a research level
encyclopaedia and the traditional bibliography.
Another article covers the ARROW project, a pioneering venture which
will support the development of Europeana, a pan-European digital
library, by establishing a single framework to manage rights
information.
Also featured is the Oxford Language Web, a new facility of the Oxford
Languages Dictionary Online allows word searches across multiple
languages simultaneously, providing easy access to key vocabulary.
We assess an exciting initiative to place OUP content on mobile phones
and new journal acquisitions for 2010. Each issue will also feature an
'Industry Focus' article, profiling an individual or product from the
world of scholarly information or publishing.
