The OED database is not offered as an online facility by
Oxford University Press. Various institutions have, however,
purchased the magnetic tape of the Second Edition and would
have it available as a resource for their university/college.
Details of the mag tape version can be obtained from my
colleague Mrs Janet Caldwell (email OUPJSC at same address as
mine).

In reply to Sally Ross's query, I know that we have the 2nd ed. of
the _OED_ installed on our mainframe but I don't know if it can
be used by people on other campuses. Perhaps our Computing Services
Office (CSO) can be of help. Try contacting Caroly Gedney at
c-gedney@uiuc.edu
I find the on-line _OED_ extremely useful.
