The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is a guide to the meaning, history, and usage of 500,000 words and phrases past and present, from across the English-speaking world. OED is updated four times a year to include revisions to existing entries as well as add new words.

 

Oxford English Dictionary https://libguides.tuni.fi/oed  moved to a new updated platform in July.

The new site has the following improvements:

  • Improved site functionality, including clearer navigation
  • New entry layout, making information easier to find and understand
  • Enhanced accessibility compliance with industry standards (WCAG)
  • Increased discoverability ensuring OED content is easy to find via search engines

More information about OED and an overview of the changes can be found here.
