GEN: UXL Science CD & Enc. of Science

[rich tabis <tabis@infonline.net>]

Hello,
        This is for anyone who owns the UXL Science CD-ROM and/or the print UXL
Encyclopedia of Science plus the Gale DISCovering Science CD-ROM. Is the
UXL Science CD more or less the electronic version of their print UXL
Encyclopedia of Science? Would you recommend the CD or print? For my
senior high, I already have the Gale DISCovering Science CD as well as
the print version, the Gale Encyclopedia of Science. (Although I like
having both, the 2 are basically the same thing.) I thought that the UXL
might be good for my middle school, but also wondered about the
similarity to the Gale version since they are basically the same
company.
        I guess I am just asking if the UXL Science CD and the print UXL
Science Encyclopedia are one and the same thing?  And is there much
difference between the UXL and Gale versions? Of course the catalogs
don't mention these things, and I just don't want to duplicate something
I already have when there are so many other things I need to buy.
Thanks for your help!
