  • The 20-volume printed version of the Oxford English dictionary (OED) is available at Bedford Central, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard libraries
  • The OED uses 2.5 million quotations to illustrate different meanings of individual English words and to show how the meanings of the words change over the years
  • It may help if you cannot find your quotation elsewhere, especially if your quotation includes old or unusual words
  • You can also log in to use the OED online
