Try out the new Oxford English Dictionary Online for free...
"The OED will instantly become the internet's biggest, most
prestige-laden reference book" The Guardian (11/3/00)
"Using OED Online is simple and, unlike a paper dictionary, it can be
easily accessed on a number of levels. One can, for example, look up
terms by their definitions and etymologies rather than head words." The
Sunday Times (12/3/00)
Launched on March 14th, OED Online has already been the subject of
widespread press, radio and TV coverage, and this is set to continue.
If you would like to offer your library members free access to OED
Online until the end of April, simply contact Susanna Lob at Oxford
University Press (email: [log in to unmask], tel: 01865 267229; fax 01865
267811).
EARL and the OED have negotiated a substantial 30-40% discount for EARL
partners on OED Online and more details can be found on EARL's
Consortium Purchase pages at
