A Web of On-line Dictionaries

Encarta Concise (free encyclopedia)
"Microsoft's Encarta encyclopedia series has been deservedly popular on CD-ROM for many years, and its free online service--Encarta Concise--is a successful translation to the Web. Article entries are significantly abridged--the Scotland entry clocked in at 1200 words. But, like Funk and Wagnalls, Encarta Concise offers maps and photos." (From PCWorld review)

The Internet Public Library (www.ipl.org)
Lots of information, e.g. Newspapers all over the world.

Encyclopedia.Com
"Encyclopedia.Com is an abridged online encyclopedia run by the Electric Library. It's a fee-based reference service with a variety of subscription options. Again, you can search by keyword or browse by topic alphabetically. Article entries are drawn from the Concise Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia and are much shorter than those in Encarta or Funk and Wagnalls. For example, the main entry under Scotland was a meager 200 words." (From PCWorld review)

AskERIC
"Education information with the personal touch." The AskERIC Virtual Library contains selected educational resources: AskERIC Toolbox , AskERIC InfoGuides, AskERIC Lesson Plans, ERIC resources, etc.
