The Dalhousie Libraries have recently acquired online access to the Oxford Arabic Dictionary.

This is the most authoritative English-Arabic/ Arabic-English dictionary ever published. Based on real modern evidence and computational analysis of hundreds of millions of words in both English and Modern Standard Arabic, the dictionary boasts more than 130,000 words and phrases and 200,000 translations. It has been designed for both Arabic and English native speakers and includes up-to-date vocabulary from computing, business, the media, and the arts, across both languages.

The Oxford Arabic Dictionary can be accessed through the Novanet Online Public Catalogue and the Databases page on the Dalhousie Libraries website.
