| | Encarta Reference Library 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Following the success of Encarta and Bookshelf, most all the other well known encyclopedia vendors, such as World Book and Compton's, began to transform the selling of their encyclopedias with their own efforts to produce a CD ROM version of their set. |
 | | This transformation of encyclopedia reference material is an excellent example of the powerful potential inherent in the integration of computers with learning, and how this type of substantive information can be made to excite, intrigue, and challenge. |
 | | While Microsoft says the Encarta dictionary is the first newly written English dictionary in 30 years, in truth, this is of course a very different type of dictionary, one built around the availability of rich, dynamic interactivity that can only be found in such an electronic version of a dictionary. |
