Oxford English Dictionary goes online

Library Systems Newsletter [July 2000]

The full text of the 20-volume OED, with 60 million words describing 750,000 terms accompanied by 25 million quotations, is now available online. More than 9,000 terms from the past 30 years have been integrated into the dictionary for the first time. Contemporary quotations have also been added. Work is still going on—with plans to nearly double the number of terms to more than 1.3 million by 2010.

The annual subscription price is $550 for a single user license and $795 for an unlimited network license. The URL for the dictionary is www oed.com.
