Word Up!

So much more than you expect...

Oxford Dictionaries is not just about definitions; though it is very good at them! Why not test your vocabulary and grammar knowledge or find out the origins of words or phrases; do you know the origin of the phrase bee's knees? Well you can find out here!

Just log in with your library card number and PIN, go to Oxford Dictionaries and click Explore.
