The NMRLS Reference Committee is evaluating a new encyclopedia title, World Book as part of the evaluation of databases for FY2006.

The Committee seeks member input on the Grolier Online service and the World Book.

Please visit: www.nmrls.org/ref-cte/encyclopediatrials.html

We ask all members who use online encyclopedias to take a few minutes to try the new title and the current titles and complete the brief online evaluation form for each. The Reference Committee will review the results of these evaluations and discuss the databases, their pricing, as part of NMRLS planning for fy2006.

Please contact Greg Pronevitz greg@nmrls.org or Susan Babb susan@nmrls.org if you have any questions.

Please evaluate all encyclopedias by March 31, 2005.
