Oxford Reference Premium Collection

On Line access to 100 keys Oxford University Press dictionaries an reference works across the full subjet spectrum.
In Oxford Reference Online Premium Collection you will find a wealth of facts, figures, definitions, and translations from 175+ Oxford reference titles, many of which are in-depth, scholarly articles from titles in the acclaimed Oxford Companions series, plus all 20,000 quotations from the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.
The Premium Collection has an 'intelligent search' which will find your search term whether it appears in an entry heading, the full text of the entry, and will even find it if you have misspelled it. The Premium Collection also features improved reordering and refining options for search results to help you focus on the type of entry which best suits your needs.
Search defaults
By default the search engine looks for all of your search terms in entry headings and prioritizes the closest matches to your search term at the top of the search results list. If you have used the Quick search option you can widen your search to full text by clicking on the widen search button in the top right-hand corner of the search results page.

If no results are found in entry headings, our intelligent searching facility moves on to full text to look for your search terms. Finally, if it has not found results in entry headings or full text, it uses a Pattern search to find similarly spelt words, in case you've misspelled your search term.

If, for example, you've misspelled millennium as milenium, the search engine will still find results for you.

Do you want to find an exact phrase?
Perhaps you are looking for references to business ethics and only want entries defining this exact phrase? Just put double quotation marks around your search term.

III CROSS DEL PROFESOR

El pasado 23 de abril se celebró en la Casa de Campo de Madrid la tercera edición del cross del profesor. En esta ocasión, 1500 profesores de centros docentes de enseñanza pública, privada y concertada de los centros de educación infantil, primaria, secundaria, institutos, colegios de educación especial y centros de formación profesional nos calzamos las zapatillas y compartimos una actividad deportiva en un lugar estupendo.

Hay que felicitar a los 14 participantes del IES Barrio de Loranca que participaron en su totalidad en la prueba de 7kms. (si es que estamos hechos de otra pasta),
logrando un meritorio 27º puesto que mejora nuestra anterior participación.

La lista con la clasificación individual y por centros la podéis encontrar en cdp-deporte
aunque los tiempos que ofrece son los netos y no los oficiales, es decir, los reales. Estos los tenéis aquí:
