They've recently revamped their site and I'm not sure if you can access the work directly, but if you go to the Latin Morphological Analysis link at: <http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/perscoll?collection=Perseus:collection:Per sInfo&type=interactive+resource> and put in a word, inflected or not, you'll be given the opportunity to go to the word's entry in L & S. This is obviously useful for other reasons, too. I'm grateful to those who are blessed with better resources and >sharper minds! Might you be able to convince the librarian at Earlham to buy a copy of the Blaise _Dictionnaire_ for the collection? It's only 138 Euros last I checked, which isn't that expensive for a reference work so important. With Niermeyer available Blaise's Medieval Latin dictionary in the CCSL series isn't as necessary for you, but his Later Latin work is (as I understand it) the best available for the period.
