Oxford Reference Online Relaunch
Oxford Reference is delighted to announce that a new site will be launching on the 19th of September for Oxford Reference Online. You can preview the change by accessing this resource. Most importantly, may be the following, regarding updating links and bookmarks:
Bookmarks for specific titles will have automatic redirects in place to the new title homepage on Oxford Reference. They are unable to provide a direct mapping of entry level and public page content from the old sites to the new, so the user will need to update bookmarks manually by visiting the new site and locating the new pages. They advise that people update their bookmarks as soon as they can after the launch.
Public Pages: all public pages on the old site will be improved and transferred to the new site; thereafter users will not be able to access public pages on the old site.
Search boxes: the existing Oxford Reference Online search box which you may have embedded will no longer work after the new site launches. They will be in contact when a new search box is available for to download.
