Office of Epizootics (OIE) Document Database	The OIE Documentation Centre houses a vast collection of documentary resources (currently more than 13,000 documents) accessible via a database where documents have been compiled, indexed and analyzed using a bilingual French-English thesaurus designed specifically for OIE areas of activity. The database compiles all the works and major reports, conference proceedings and journal articles published by the OIE and other institutions that are housed in OIE Headquarters and its documentation centre. In particular, the database includes all OIE periodicals and non-periodicals, as well as working papers by the OIE and organizations with which it has dealings. Up to now the database has been reserved for OIE Headquarters staff and available solely via the Organizations intranet but, in January 2011, a more user-friendly version will feature on the new OIE website. So far the new version contains around 5,000 documents emanating from OIE activities between 1921 and 2010 (OIE publications and joint publications). The new database features a system for searching the following documents by keyword (subject, language, source, year and author), in many instances providing access to the full text: " All monographs published by the OIE. " All OIE periodical publications, including: o articles from the Scientific and Technical Review since it was first published in 1981; o OIE animal health standards; o technical items presented to the World Assembly of Delegates. " General session reports. " Resolutions and recommendations adopted by the Regional Commissions and the World Assembly of Delegates since 1924. " Reports from the various OIE commissions, working groups and ad hoc groups. " Conference proceedings and reports of seminars, workshops, consultations, training courses, missions and meetings organised by the OIE alone or jointly with other organisations, including both official and unofficial documents. " Documents from OIE regional representations. Older documents in the OIE archives, including reports published in the OIE Bulletin since it was first published in 1927, articles from the OIE Scientific and Technical Review between 1981 and 2001, World Animal Health reports since 1981 and OIE normative publications (codes and manuals) since they were first published were all included in the first digitization programme[1], which was completed in 2010. The digitized content of these archives will be incorporated into the database, which will soon give access to the full range of documents arising from OIE activities since the Organization was created in 1924.

Oxford English Dictionary online	The most comprehensive dictionary of the English language, tracing the development of English in all its varieties from approximately 1150 A.D. up to the present day. It aims to cover the full spectrum of English language usage, from formal to slang, as it has evolved over time. It includes both main entries, which make up the bulk of the content, and cross-reference entries. Most entries contain information on all of the following: spelling, pronunciation, derivation, meaning, and usage. The usage of each word, meaning, or idiom in the Dictionary is documented through comprehensive examples drawn from quotations taken from printed texts of the present and the past. These quotation paragraphs begin with the earliest recorded occurrence of a term, and follow its development up to the modern period, unless the documentary evidence shows that the term has fallen out of use along the way.	1150 AD - present	Partial
