Oxford Reference is a free online tool for Worcestershire library users. It brings together trusted information from Oxford University Press in one place. You can find millions of entries from dictionaries, encyclopaedia's, and other books about art, science, history, literature, and more.

It is helpful if you are starting research, checking a fact, or learning more about a topic. Students can use it for schoolwork, writers can check meanings and explanations, and anyone can read reliable information without looking in lots of different places.

You can search all the books at once or look at a single subject. Some entries are short and easy to read, while others give a longer explanation. This makes it useful for quick answers or learning more in depth.
