Oxford English Dictionary (OED) Online
Oxford's landmark authority on the evolution of the English language over the last millennium.

The online version contains two separate texts, the complete Second Edition (including the Additions Series) and the New Edition – a work in progress. Hundreds of new entries are added every year, and serious logophiles can sign up to receive the OED "Word of the Day!"

You will find these, and other relevant reference books, in our Reference Collection on the Main floor of the library.
