Hint for the new Oxford Reference and Springer Platforms

In the past few months, both the Oxford Reference and Springer Journals and ebooks platforms have changed to new websites. The interfaces are very different that previous versions. Most importantly is that by default, they both return search result sets including material we do not have access to.

Please make sure to select the options on the left hand side to filter to library available items:

On Springer, un-select the option “Include Preview-Only content”.
On Oxford Reference, select the option “Show full text results only” under availability.

Please contact the reference desk if you have any further questions about how to use these two new websites.
