For a limited time only (now till Feb. 11) – check out a new database called Oxford Bibliographies Online!

Oxford Bibliographies Online (OBO) is an entirely new research tool for the social sciences and humanities. A scholar-curated library of discipline-based subject modules, OBO is designed to help busy researchers find reliable sources of information in half the time by directing them to exactly the right chapter, book, website, archive, or data set they need for their research. Each entry is a selective guided tour through the key literature on a topic, receives multiple peer-reviews as well as Editorial Board approval, and is designed to facilitate a research experience with no dead ends.

Faculty and professional researchers will turn to Oxford Bibliographies Online for a high-level overview of scholarship on topics outside their area of specialty. It is also a useful tool for preparing a syllabus. You can use OBO to find ideas for texts to incorporate into a new course you’ve been asked to teach. Subject areas include Atlantic History, Biblical Studies, Buddhism, Classics, Criminology, Islamic Studies, Medieval Studies, Philosophy, Renaissance and Reformation, and Social Work.
