Oxford Reference Premium Collection (On Line)

By: Gabriela Nikolova

Quote:
In Oxford Reference Online: Premium Collection you will find a wealth of facts, figures, definitions, and translations from 175+ Oxford reference titles, many of which are in-depth, scholarly articles from titles in the acclaimed Oxford Companions series, plus all 20,000 quotations from the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.
The Premium Collection has an ‘intelligent search’ which will find your search term whether it appears in an entry heading, the full text of the entry, and will even find it if you have misspelled it.

If no results are found in entry headings, our intelligent searching facility moves on to full text to look for your search terms. Finally, if it has not found results in entry headings or full text, it uses a Pattern search to find similarly spelt words, in case you’ve misspelled your search term.

You can use wildcards if you’re not sure of the spelling, if there are several variant forms of the word that you are looking for, or if you want to find words which start or end in the same letter.

I also checked the price and yes, it is $19.95 per month for an individual (in North and South America) or annual subscription - $159 for 12 months.

The price for individuals outside North and South America http://www.oxfordreference.com/pages/ROW_INDV

Interesting to know, but it's annoying when they don't tell you the price. Even on the website, it's hard to find the price (which is not at all uncommon for software and such).
Seems to be $19.95 per month for an individual, but I didn't read all the fine print.
