Encyclopedias--Windows 2007
The document provides an overview of the history and evolution of encyclopedias from printed tomes to online resources. It discusses early encyclopedias such as Chambers' Cyclopedia and the first editions of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It also covers the transition to digital formats and the rise of open collaborative projects like Wikipedia, which allowed anyone to contribute and edit articles. Some concerns were raised about accuracy and reliability with the open model, but the document also notes that Wikipedia provides a wealth of up-to-date information for students and casual users.
