[LM_NET] Encyclopedias?

[Rita Sitron <rsitron@YAHOO.COM>]

Please help me with a decision.!
As we are basically a new high school, we do not have a set of print encyclopedias. 
 Our principal believes that students should rely on electronic sources; however, 
an English teacher is adamant that a high school should have at least one complete 
print set. My questions to you are:
  1. How much do the students in your high school actually use the encyclopedias?
  2. Which one do you recommend for high school students?
  3. Do you think it is worth the price?
  3. Where do I go to purchase them?
Thank you so much for your help.
