Oxford Reference Online Database - What do you think???

 
Oxford Reference Online is asking us for our feedback as they look to redesign and change their functionality.  Please send me any comments you may have by this Wednesday, March 3rd, so that I can send them our collective feedback.  Thanks!

  1. I just got done speaking with Oxford Online and was very impressed to hear how insightful they were about looking at ways to change their content. I answered several questions they had about usability, importance, and content and our overall impression of their product. I incorporated the few comments I received via e-mail.

    In summary, several of our staff members liked Oxford Online for its simplicity, some wanted more information and others wanted a more competitive product up to par with the likes of Google and Wikipedia (as far as usability and attractive appeal are concerned).

    I honestly expressed my frustration with databases in general because of their usual lack of usability, but I also gained a greater respect for Oxford.

    I recommend others to give it another try, for the very first time! :D
