| The alphabetic character bar above will direct you to a listing of titles.
The titles are followed by symbols such as @ or [A1992]. These symbols are explained below.
Note that titles starting with a "The" or "A" are referenced on the next word. For example to find The Life of William Shakespeare you would look up Life of William Shakespeare, The.
What is this index all about?
This section of the OEP is developing into an 'index of titles' utilising title links to areas of the OEP where the titles are mentioned, referenced or discussed in depth. Many publications (titles) do not yet have their own category and the link above will therefore take you to the author entry for that title or in some cases to where it has been referenced in the OEP. As the OEP grows individual titles will have more information provided and the links will then move to where the most detailed information is stored.
What does the @ mean?
The @ symbol at the end of every title is not part of the title but rather indicates it is a link, known as an @link, to another category or area of the Open Encyclopedia Project(OEP). The @ symbol appearing by itself indicates that the link will take you to a category that provides information about the publication itself. Not all titles have their own category in the Open Encyclopedia.
What does the [A] or [A1998] mean?
If there is an [A] after the title before the @ symbol it indicates that the link will take you to the author entry for that title. If the date of publication is known it follows immediately after the A. The first section you will encounter on entering an Author category is a chronological publications listing. Knowing the year can assist you in finding the title entry. This can be helpful particularly for very prolific authors.
What does the [R] mean?
Occasionally there will be an [R] following the title eg "Oxford Dictionary[R]@" such an entry indicates the listing will take you to a category where that title has been used as a reference or basis for a category or it may take you to a category listing a number of areas where the title is referenced within the OEP.
