OED New and Improved

Yes! We subscribe to the Oxford English Dictionary Online (OED), so don’t forget to access it via the library website.
The Oxford English Dictionary substantially revamped its online edition yesterday, rolling out new features such as integrating the Historical Thesaurus to the OED, as well as a complete list of sources, which has led British newspapers to brag about their contributions to the mother tongue. (quoted from Bookforum)
