Scribble was the first word I looked up in Webster's Online Dictionary: The Rosetta Edition. Then I tried sanderling. The results knocked my socks off. Definitions, images, rhymes, quotes. The 'sanderling' information includes a migration map, photos, how to spell it in braille, morse code, semaphore, sign language, etc. Rosetta's not finicky about proper names, either. Extensive results for 'Sophocles', and it did a fine job on 'New Mexico'.
We were led to this astonishing resource from Peter's Digital Reference Shelf for April.
Library news, book chat, resources, and more
