OED online ..coming to a public library near you

1

Excellent news.

“the OED Online (along with a range of other Oxford Online resources) will soon be available in almost all public libraries in England as a result of a landmark agreement between Oxford University Press and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council”

Brilliant - now i don”t have to fork out the £200 a year or so subscription. yum yum. this is indeed great for public libraries, for so long all we”ve heard are cuts , cuts and cuts in funding and a general lack of resources. ( why - oh well you know, part of the general decline in public services etc.) So this is a fabulous step forward.
