Browse the new Britannica
HOURS OF new video and a dazzling visual interface top the list of new features in the Encyclopaedia Britannica Ultimate Reference Suite 2005, a multimedia reference library for information seekers of all ages.
The added features make the encyclopaedia easier to browse and more enjoyable. Unlike other multimedia reference products, which focus mainly on students in the middle grades, the mammoth 100,000-article Ultimate Reference Suite provides comprehensive information for everyone from children to adults in one place. It has bagged several software awards.
The 2005 edition is available on DVD and CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh computers.
It has a raft of fascinating features such as More Videos which provides 180 minutes of lively videos for extensive research, Britannia Brainstormer, a user-friendly visual interface for comprehensive and high speed research and a re-designed interface that integrates perfectly with MAC and Windows Operating Systems.
The Ultimate Reference Suite has three encyclopaedias — the Britannica library comprising 32 volumes and over 75,000 articles, a student library meant for students aged 10-18 with 16,000 entries and an elementary library for students in the early grades. Each encyclopaedia forms the cornerstone of an integrated `reference library' that includes a dictionary, thesaurus, atlas and historical timelines, appropriate to the age of the user.
Students can advance to the next level when they are ready, and adults can use it all their lives.
Customers get free downloadable updates for a year and a 90-day free subscription to Britannica's online premium service (www.Britannica.com) , with popular magazines and links to valuable websites.
Britannica's Ultimate Reference Suite, priced at Rs. 2,495, is available at leading CD-ROM and book stores and at www.britannicaindia.com
