Obviously, Today in Georgia History has set off a dictionary stream of consciousness.
On the books tab, the Fundamentals of English Library Guide has a search box for the Credo Reference English Dictionaries. A search for one of the vocabulary words pulled up 51 entries . The first few were the strict definition in a 'regular' dictionary.
A click on the definition opens the screen and shows links to related entries on the left. Those related entries pull from reference sources that you might not consider using when looking for the meaning of a word. It's not the same historic perspective of the OED but it definitely broadens your horizon on the use of a particular word.
Talk to your CTC librarian about how to access Credo Reference off campus.
