Product Update for Britannica Online School Edition
January 6, 2004

Britannica has been hard at work over the holidays, adding new features to the databases. Here are some new features you will be interested in...

First, on the Britannica Online School Edition home page, there is a new feature called Britannica Highlights in the right column. You will find interesting Britannica articles appearing here each week.

Second, there are some major improvements to Britannica's search results. The Britannica Elementary Encyclopedia now appears at the top of the search results, in the third column, making it easier for young students to find elementary-level articles. The Britannica Internet Guide, magazine article links, and video clips are now in the fourth column. Here is an example of how it looks.

Also on the search results, you will see a "count" at the top of each column, indicating the number of articles relating to your search. For example, the first column has "Results 1-6 of 75." Results 1-6 are displayed on the first page, and then for additional articles you can click the More Articles link at the bottom of the column.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Best wishes for a wonderful 2004!

Joe
