Answer

You can look up the definition of a word in the Online Library by navigating to our Oxford Reference database. Once you log in to the Online Library, click on 'Databases' at the top left of the page, then click on the letter 'O' and select Oxford Reference. There is a search bar at the top right of the screen where you can type in a word or phrase. The results come from dictionaries and other subject guides!
