Electronic version of this dictionary has been freely accessible from 22 June 2005 at www.lkz.lt. In 2008 the renewed version was launched.In 2012 the second revised electronic edition of Lietuvių kalbos žodynas (LKŽ2e) was prepared for publishing. It will be available on memory key. During the preparation of the second edition, texts of the version from 2008 were revised in the following respects: more editing was done on the material of volumes 16–20, some corrections were made to the whole text, suggestions of the new theoretical and codifying works were taken into consideration as well as comments and observations of colleagues and visitors of the web site. Some new entries were compiled for words which were used in entries or definitions, but did not have separate entries themselves. So far this dictionary has not been supplemented with data from new sources. The newest lexis will be available in Bendrinės lietuvių kalbos žodynas (Dictionary of Standard Lithuanian) the preparation of which is nearly completed.The main variants of phraseologisms, neuter gender of adjectives, adverbs presented in the entries of verbs and adjectives are among things included in the search lists.

The software of the dictionary works with Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.At present the Centre of Lexicography is participating in Ilgalaikė institucinės mokslinių tyrimų ir eksperimentinės (socialinės, kultūrinės) plėtros programa (Longterm institutional programme for scientific research and experimental (social and cultural) development) and one of the main tasks of the Centre is to prepare the amendments of electronic version of Lietuvių kalbos žodynas using card files (about half of a million of records), database of amendments, newly published and evaluated historical sources.
