Life as a Library Researcher

Life as a Library Researcher offers a glimpse into the research and checking done by researchers who work for the OED [Oxford English Dictionary], the source for uncovering etymology or the origin of words. The author, Brigid Allen, offers concrete examples of the type of research she conducts for the OED. All in all, an entertaining read for those of us who live in libraries.
