Microsoft Encarta is a home oriented interactive encyclopedia Unlike a paper encyclopedia, Encarta takes full advantage of being on a computer, with updates from the Internet, sound clips and movies, interactive charts and games, and good navigation.
For Windows NT or Windows 95
Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia
From Superkids.com:
Contained on two CDs, Encarta 98 installed without difficulty on Windows 95, requiring 30MB of disk space.
Also included with the program is an "Encarta Research Organizer" compact disc, which requires separate installation. This tool helps students compile and organize information found in the encyclopedia, create outlines and cite sources, and then export their work to a word processor.
Encarta's main search tool allows searches by article topic or keyword. The user can refine or narrow the search with the use of a filter. The 'specific word' filter allows simple Boolean operator searches, as well as search strings. Also available are category, media, time frame, and location filters, as well as a 'wizard' that gives step by step help in customizing a search.
Additional features of the program include fascinating "Virtual Tours" with pannable 360-degree views that let you explore historic and news worthy places; "Sidebars" which fill in the story behind the story with reproductions of newspaper articles, historic documents, and essays that give the user a more personal understanding of the subject; "Inter Activities" which provide multimedia explorations that compliment certain articles; and Collages -- multimedia events on selected topics.
This encyclopedia is beautifully written and organized. Graphics are crisp and clear, and the content - when it addresses the topic - is consistently detailed and well-written. Accessing information is simple and straight-forward. Encarta is a serious reference tool that is well-suited for a high school student or beyond; younger users may find the writing level difficult to comprehend at times.
