I was just speaking with a coworker about this issue. From our Databases and Article searching page you can search for "Oxford Art Online" or "Grove Art Online" and get the proper link but the online database list files it under O for Oxford, no cross reference under G. The database is listed as "Oxford Art Online - Grove Art Online." A bit confusing since the change to Oxford didn't occur too long ago.

Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] Grove Art - name changed to Oxford on library websites?
On my art research webpage it is listed as Oxford Art Online. On the branch
library page it is still listed as Grove.
In our long list of all databases, it is listed both ways.
We are either inefficient, or covering all our bases!!
