Access to Oxford English Dictionary Online

In this digital era, it is easier looking up a word in online dictionary rather than the traditional paper dictionary where the user is required to turn several pages to find a specific word.

The Library has subscribed to the Online Oxford English Dictionary to promote understanding of English words and terms for seamless learning.

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is widely regarded as the accepted authority on the English language. It is an unsurpassed guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of 600,000 words, past and present from across the English-speaking world.

OED Online is updated regularly to provide users with the results of current research and revision. Please use the following link to access Oxford English Dictionary (OED) Online - https://www.oed.com/

You can also visit the Library website and access the OED using the following links: https://uonlibrary.uonbi.ac.ke/basic-page/e-journals-z-listing or https://uonlibrary.uonbi.ac.ke/basic-page/list-e-book-databases
