World Book Encyclopedia (CD-ROM versioin)

[Rhea Resnik <rresnik@coastalnet.com>]

I have recently received a sizeable grant for upgrading media center
information resource networks.  Many of the media coordinators,
particularly in the middle and elementary schools, were very impressed
by the World Book 1998 Multimedia Encyclopedia, Deluxe Edition (2 disc
set).  However, the review in the September/October issue of "Multimedia
Schools" mentions difficulties in installing this product on a network
and suggests that there may be problems in keeping the program running
on networks.  In addition, the reviewer was less than happy with
technical support.  We will be using Win 95 workstations, Novell 3.12 or
4.0 or later, SciNet CD-ROM servers.  My question......has anyone
installed this product on a network and how well is it working?  I would
appreciate answers sent directly to me and I will compile a hit if the
answers warrant it.
