ODLIS : online dictionary for library and information science, July 28, 2014 (dictionary: A single-volume or multivolume reference work containing brief explanatory entries for terms and topics related to a specific subject or field of inquiry, usually arranged alphabetically. Some dictionaries also include synonyms, antonyms, and brief biographical and gazetteer information. In an unabridged dictionary, an attempt is made to be comprehensive in the number of terms included. An abridged dictionary provides a more limited selection of words and usually less information in each entry. In a visual dictionary, each term is illustrated. See also: desk dictionary and pocket dictionary; glossary: An alphabetically arranged list of the specialized vocabulary of a given subject or field of study, with brief definitions, often appearing at the end of a book or at the beginning of a long entry in a technical reference work.
