Meet
the Reference Books introduces noteworthy encyclopedias, dictionaries,
and other reference materials in Carmichael Library's print and digital
collections. Blog posts are contributed by student library employees as
part of our Homegrown Book Reviews initiative.
This
post is written by Shannon
Skelton, a French major. The Oxford Dictionary of Science
Fiction is available in digital format through the Virtual Reference Shelf and in the print reference section (Call Number PN3433.4
.P78).
Don’t know what a Dalek is? How
about shipping? Do your friends speak in a code that you just don’t understand?
Then you need Brave New Words: the Oxford
Dictionary of Science Fiction. Published in 2007, this book will introduce
you to all of those strange and wonderful words that your friends and
co-workers use.
Pulling terms from books, television, comics and the Internet, this book
will give you a comprehensive overview of the science fiction vocabulary that
is used around the world.
So come to the dark side, we have cookies!
