REF: Encyclopedias on line

[Bill Siddells <Bill.Siddells@CORRESPONDENCE.SCHOOL.NZ>]

Further to the inquiry re. Brittanica online - there are a variety of other
 multiple-encyclopedia Web-based sources that you might be
interested in knowing about. Try eg -

http://www.libraryspot.com for an array of 12 encyclopedias.

http://www.internetoracle.com/encyclop.htm which in turn uncovers another
30 or so encyclopedias.

http://www.refdesk.com/factency.html offers about 50 encyclopedias.

http://edis.win.tue.nl/encyclop.html

http://stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/hyperref.html#encyclopedias - has 90
encyclopedias (as well as hundreds of dictionaries and glossaries)

http://www.kalama.com/~mariner/qserencyclo.htm - another 30 or so

Finally, if you still want more (!) try a meta search engine like say
www.redesearch.com, which throws up about 150 sites from 10 search
engines to presumably hundreds more encyclopdedias.
