OUP and Semantico deliver updates to Oxford Music Online and Oxford Art Online

Nov. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Oxford University Press in partnership with Semantico, a leading provider of services and technology for online publishing,  has delivered updated search functionality to Oxford Art Online and Oxford Music Online.

Both Oxford Art Online and Oxford Music Online offer users the ability to access and cross-search content in the widely recognised and authoritative Grove Online publications and other Oxford reference content.

With the resources containing tens of thousands of articles, subject entries, biographies, bibliographic citations, image links and images, search functionality is essential to help users find the information they need.  Following this new update, improved search capabilities now provide users with powerful tools for content navigation, and include biography and bibliography searching, as well as the ability to search easily within longer, multi-section articles.

John McManus, Online Project Manager in OUP’s Electronic Product Development department said, ‘This update adds sophistication to the way researchers can use the search tools on the site, building on the success of these comprehensive resources.’

Richard Padley, Managing Director, Semantico, said, 'We're please to have completed these important updates to Oxford Music Online and Oxford Art Online. Search is an important tool when using large online resources such as these. We're sure this work will improve user experience.'
