Building A Digital Library for both you and your students will provide a good basis for success in schoolwork.
- Multireference disk Microsoft's Bookshelf contains a concise dictionary, encyclopedia, atlas, thesauras, book of quotations, and chronology on a single CD-ROM.
- Encyclopedia The Grolier Mulitmedia Encyclopedia is my choice because it provides excellent hypertext searching tools and many illustrations.
- Image Collections Most students when working on writing papers, history and science projects need a collection of maps that can be modified such as those in atlases. The software below are good ways to explore images.
