Two very valuable multi-volume encyclopedias (do not let the word
dictionary in the title fool you) are leaving MacMillan ownership to
become part of the catalog of publications at Oxford University Press in
both their print and online database editions. Both the print and online
editions of these publications are part of many academic and public
library collections.

Musicians will join OUP's collection of prestigious publications including
the Oxford English Dictionary, the American National Biography, Oxford
Reference Online, and the forthcoming Oxford Dictionary of National
Biography.
Macmillan announced that they were putting the titles up for sale earlier
this year.
