The purchase of Oxford Scholarship Online was made possible through a Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium, Inc. strategic initiative. By leveraging the participation of large research libraries such as the Penn Libraries in collective purchases, PALCI is able to bring large online collections - Oxford Scholarship Online, ProQuest Ebook Central, AVON videostreaming, SAGE Knowledge - to smaller academic institutions across Pennsylvania.

The current PALCI Oxford Scholarship Online purchase gives the Penn Libraries all current and past Oxford Scholarship Online titles plus all OSO forthcoming titles - approximately 1,000 titles per year - through 2022. As they are released, records for individual ebook titles will appear in Franklin Catalog. Penn Libraries bibliographers will review individual print offerings from Oxford University Press to avoid unnecessary duplication with forthcoming ebook releases in Oxford Scholarship Online.
