Grove Art Online is now Oxford Art Online. Not only has the name changed but the database has a new look and feel. If you go to the new site you will see that you are searching four reference sources: Grove Art Online, The Oxford Companion to Western Art, Encyclopedia of Aesthetics, and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art Terms. The interface makes it easy to search these sources individually or in combination with one another.

Both Applied Science and Technology Abstracts and Wilson Business Abstracts now provide indexing back to 1913. The increase provides access to articles on the most important events, issues and trends in the history of business and industry (including the complete file of Industrial Arts Index (1913-1957).

Two temporary solutions until the problem is fixed are:
