Additions to UF's
Electronic Resources Oxford English Dictionary (OED) The OED is the major source
on the evolution of the English language. As the authoritative guide to
the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words, the
Dictionary traces the usage of English words through 2.5 million quotations
from international English language sources, including classic literature
and specialist periodicals, film scripts and even cookbooks. The OED covers
words from across the English-speaking world, from North America to South
Africa, from Australia and New Zealand to the Caribbean. It also provides
etymological analysis, listings of variant spellings, and pronunciation
using the International Phonetic Alphabet.
Poole's Plus This enhanced Web version of
William Frederick Poole's Index to Periodical Literature (1802-1906),
precursor to the Reader's Guide, is currently the major digital
index of the nineteenth century. With over three million citations, the
Index cites articles documenting the cultural and intellectual life of
this period for researchers from all disciplines. The contents are divided
into series, each covering a genre of literature. Poole's Plus enhancements
include corrections and additions to the print version; for many of the
previously anonymous entries, the author's name is now given. In addition,
the Poole's Plus is in the process of adding citations from the Index
to Periodicals (1890-1902), edited by William T. Stead; some
of these citations are already available in the database. The Index
to Periodicals covers the following sources:
Cumulative Index to a Selected
List of Periodicals (1896-1899)
