I’ve got a ‘series’ on key journals in the field in my future, but while I was ruminating on that topic, I came across this resource, which I’d rather forgotten about:
Looking for a good definition of “Business Continuity” for your paper? What is the difference between an EOC and an ECC? What is a Drop Ship? This searchable, browsable glossary of brief, practitioner-focused definitions is a useful tool, especially in a field full of acronyms, initialisms and abbreviations.
Having said that, however, the list and definitions are not comprehensive. A great, under-utilized resource is the “Acronyms, Initialisms & Abbreviations Dictionary“, available to the U of R community through Boatwright Library. Oxford Reference also has a number of good definitions within the Oxford Reference Online suite of dictionaries, encyclopedias and handbooks. As an added bonus, these are scholarly and updated frequently.
