New kid on the block.
At a recent conference on computers in education part of one session was devoted
to a new online encyclopedia. The promoters of this encyclopedia told the
session's participants of how useful their resource would
be for students, though beyond telling us that it was constantly being updated
and corrected, and very clickable, they didn't have anything significant to tell
us about it, or why a presentation should be made about it at a conference of
this sort. Their inability to do this only focused greater attention on the elementary
question of what people do with encyclopedias.
