OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS JOURNALS NOW AVAILABLE TO VIVA LIBRARIES

The Virtual Library of Virginia (VIVA) recently announced a licensing agreement with the Oxford University Press, the world's largest university press, which will give students and faculty at public Virginia colleges and universities online access to 111 periodical titles in the fields of humanities, sciences and social sciences. Another 50 electronic titles are expected to be available before the end of 2001.
