[ISLMA-Share] Anyone in HS use World Book?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi All,

As a subscriber to this ListServ, I generally do not comment regarding issues discussed – unless the topic is directly related to Oxford University Press.

As some of you know, I am the Oxford representative for schools in Illinois.  I can help with product questions and problems, set up free trials for our online products, share in-house sale information, and process orders.

Of those who have commented regarding this encyclopedia topic, I have only shared this specific product information with Carolyn Kinsella, so I thought everyone else would at least like to know you have another choice.

For anyone who would like to learn about the new Oxford Research Encyclopedias<http://oxfordre.com/> (OREs) program, please contact me directly.
Thanks,
Diana

Hi,

Are any high schools using World Book online? I am considering losing it. I have looked at the usage reports, and I will admit it's been used, but I suspect all of those searches are when I teach database research. I am not privy to Works Cited lists, so I don't know if students are using and citing it.

What are your thoughts on keeping an encyclopedia as a resource?

In the grand scheme of things, it's not that expensive....

I did think it was funny- they offered me the print books 2018 World Book for $900.00. I am not spending that much on printed encyclopedias!


Thank you for your input.


Lori
