Also Volune 22 is Research Guide and Index. ***Review of Database***Online encyclopedias exist beyond Wikipedia. World Book Encyclopedia has an online database for children. It is more interactive then the volumes of books while containing the same information. Searching is easy and does not require finding the proper volume, but the organization is slightly difficult to browse. For example when looking for baseball, one has to click on sports and then stick and ball games. There are many different entries on baseball but you then must sort through the golf and hockey entries without the option to refine your search. This of course is easier than looking through the entire print collection alphabetically, but online environments can easily allow further refinement. Another advantage of the database is that it includes games such as puzzles and science quizzes. Ages: 5-9. World Book is a very popular and common encyclopedia given its long history. The photographs complements the readable text. Information is presented in a clear and concise manner. However, the information in the print version is similar to the online version. A good set to have in any school library. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

My reaction: Although packed full of information, encyclopedias are slowly becoming extinct and for good reason. It is simply too difficult to keep these tomes up to date in book format. These particular encyclopedias were only published in 2009 and already the pictures look dated. Considering the cost involved in printing these massive books, I think we will be going entirely digital fairly soon.
