World Book Information Finder - Encyclopaedia On Line

In 1994, the World Book Information Finder CD-ROM Encyclopedia was placed on the network for the Junior High and library. Since then, classes have discovered the power of researching on the same or on different topics at the same time on the network. In November, 1995, a Multi-media version was installed in the new Elementary Windows 95 Lab. In 1999, new versions were updated to all the school network, including classes. Over the years, this is has been a reliable resource in many areas as shown by our commitment to have access on the full school network.
An article, entitled "Information Finder - CD", in "Bits and Bytes", October 1995, provides more information on this CD-ROM Encyclopedia.
Note making to be used later in other programs is easy if "Notepad" is chosen. It's non-formatted style is well suited for easy not making. For some very helpful ideas on using Notepad, click on this link.
In 2004, classes started accessing the WorldBook Online (the link requires ID and a password). The Online version is accessible at home and at school. Students doing the new 3R's (read, research and report) can enquire online for information updates and this is better than the dated files on a CD-ROM. The Indian Ocean 2004 Tsunami demonstrated this to the Junior High students in Computer Studies classes. This has been renewed for the 2006-2007 school year.
