Ovid's Biosis Previews database is a continuation of the Biological Abstracts (1995 - Dec 2001) database. Both cover life science research including original research reports and reviews in biological and biomedical areas. Specific coverage includes the traditional areas of biology, botany, zoology and microbiology, as well as agriculture, pharmacology, ecology, and veterinary medicine. Interdisciplinary fields such as biotechnology, biochemistry, biophysics, and bioengineering are also included. Nearly 5,500 serials are monitored for inclusion. The databases also provide content summaries, books and meeting abstracts, papers and posters.

The Biological Abstracts database covers 1995 - December 2001, while Biosis Previews covers 2002 - current.

Bridgeman Art Library is a commercial online image bank of over 100,000 fine art images covering over 8000 collections and 29,000 artists.

It claims to "represent museums, galleries and artists throughout the world by providing a central source of fine art for image users" and to provide "an archive of images drawn from collections throughout the world, all of which are available for licensing".

So its main purpose is to make images of artworks available for commercial use, but at the same time these images are free for viewing and printing for educational/reference use.

All images have been catalogued with full picture data, and key-worded to facilitate access, and the database includes quick and advanced search facilities.

Bridgeman Art Library can also be accessed from within Oxford Art Online.
