pushy encyclopaedia sales personnel...- No heavyweight encyclopaedias
cluttering up the book shelf...

access to every Britannica article...
Yes, there's a lot to like
about Britannica .com!
Yes, Virginia, there is an answer.
Finding
pure, unadulterated information on the net can be a time
consuming affair. Searches can return superfluous results, or
none at all- and the promising stuff can be a real let down
when you finally get to the page.
 Britannica
com then is the way to go if you need encyclopaedia style
information on a subject- 'cos your guaranteed a useful
result to most queries.
Don't judge an encyclopaedia by its
cover
Even
better, Britannica com
supplies links both within and at the end of articles. Some
are links to related articles at Britannica, others are useful
(and human generated) web links. Very handy!
To buy or to net?
Britannica is available on CD, and
in a variety of guises too. So should you buy or net? For the
occasional user, sue the net. You may not get the flash
multimedia, but you will get answers and great links. For home
use by students, buy the CD and save your Internet connection
time!
Overall
Superb.
Make Britannica com one of your first stops when searching.
You'll be glad you did!
