- I'd like to know WHERE to find out what reference works are
- available on CDROM. My teenage kids want a new encyclopedia. The
- Brittanica goes for over $1000 in volume form. But more and more
- reference and other material is available on CDROM. My guess is that
- it would make more sense to buy an encyclopedia in CDROM -- if the
- price is reasonable.
-
- Also, I'd like to know where to look for reviews of CDROM
- readers that can be bought and plugged into a PC clone (I have a 386
- DX).
-
- Surely many of you librarians and other research experts on
- this board know how to find this information. Please email me at:
-
- furr@apollo.montclair.edu
-
- , or post to the board. But I'd prefer email direct, if it's not too
- much trouble.
-
- Thank you, and happy new year to all!
