Dear Oxford Reference Online subscriber,

With this month's update, Oxford Reference Online continues to provide libraries, students, and scholars access to the most reliable reference resources available from OUP. Subscribers to the Core Collection and the new Premium Collection will benefit from these new enhancements to the site. Full details of this update are available at OUP's What's New page.

IMPROVED SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY

A Widen Search option on the search results page means users can broaden a search to the next search level with one click of a button. The four levels of search are:

• Level 1: Standard search. Looks for the search terms in entry headings.
• Level 2: Standard search. Looks for the search terms in full text.
• Level 3: Standard search. Looks for one or more of the search terms in full text.
• Level 4: Pattern search. Looks for words spelled like your search term. Quick Search will automatically default to the next level of search whenever no results are found. So, for example, a search for "Milennium" will default to a pattern search and find results for "Millennium."
