Britannica Online Bring More to the Table

Students who've visited the library this year have been fortunate to maximize the searches with a Texshare -sponsored database, Britannica High School Edition Online. It's been working great.

Britannica Blog


Britannica has been a pretty good encyclopedia as certainly students just like are using its online version around our state and the country. Recently Britannica Online has added two new features that you will find invaluable for a number of your classes. Britannica has added its own blog and an RSS feed option. The blogs cover a variety of subjects including Campaign 2008, popular culture, environment, geography, international affairs, technology, cult of celebrity and much more. It has an advantage as its collection of blogs are published by acknowledged experts in a particular field.


RSS feed alerts are available on any keyword search that you've conducted. That means if you've research voter suppression on Friday, October 31 and your report is not due until November 11. RSS feed will continue to gather information on your topic and send the updates to your email account past October 31 until you unsubscribe to the feed. Beyond cool, not to mention helpful.
