Encyclopedia Britannica

The basic encyclopedia function is easy to use and thorough. There are some more complex features which I have not mastered yet.

The Encyclopedia Britannica 2007 Opens to the Web

The Encyclopedia Britannica 2007 (established in 1768) is again a completely revamped product. The rate of innovation in the last two editions is impressive and welcome. Its interface is intuitive and uncluttered and it is great fun to use. For instance, it offers a date-based daily selection of relevant information and highly edifying interactive tours of articles and attendant media. The search box is persistent - no need to click on the toolbar's "search" button every time you want to find something in this vast storehouse of knowledge. Moreover, the user can save search results onto handy "Virtual Notecards".^M

CHECK SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS!

I just purchased this package. I have been extremely happy with the Brittanica products in the past. HOWEVER, this particular package has the rather unusual requirement that it will run ONLY on G5 and dual core processors! In other words, this will not run on ANY of the majority of Macs currently in use, particularly in educational settings (where the machines tend to be not cutting edge), and won't run on any Mac laptops except the new Mac Books.
