Chicago Style (OWL at Purdue)
(2021) Please Note: The written material on this university website is still a good resource, but please ignore the citation generator advertised on (seemingly) every page. In summer 2019, Purdue Writing Lab partnered with Chegg, a for-profit student services company. Chegg has licensed OWL’s writing tips and placed advertising on its website, helping OWL to monetize its free content.

Oxford English Dictionary Print: REF PE 1625 .O87 1989 (20 vols) and REF PE 1625 .O92 1993 (3 vols) The "OED," originally called New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, is the definitive guide to the meaning, history, and pronunciation of over half a million words, tracing the usage of words from across the English-speaking world through quotations from international English language sources. Its intention was to record every word used in English since 1150 and trace it back through all its shifting meanings, spellings and uses to its earliest recorded appearance, plus at least one citation for each century of its existence. The online version can be searched in a variety of ways: by word; phrase; definition; etymology; by author of the quotations which shows how the use of a word has changed over time. It is not exhaustive in its coverage of standard vocabulary and is limited in its treatment of slang, dialect, scientific, and technical terms, so other dictionaries should be used as well.
