Britannica Encyclopaedia compared to Encarta Encyclopaedia

Britannica Encyclopaedia compared to Encarta Encyclopaedia

Britannica Encyclopaedia has been a reliable and respected source of information compiled by experts. It preserved the ideological aspects of the Enlightenment.  There are printed versions of encyclopedias that are available in libraries and schools. The 2010 version of the 15th edition was the last printed version. It charges very high as Collier's standard set of encyclopedia costs $1,499. Encyclopedias that are +100 years old are good to collect if they are in better condition. Encyclopedias can still be found but they can mostly be defined as redundant since the internet is more modern and easier to use.
But on the other hand, Encarta Encyclopaedia is a digital multimedia published by Microsoft Corporation. It is originally sold on CD-ROM or DVD but later on available on the web via an annual subscription. Microsoft began charging for access to all content, though access to dictionary content remained free. Arguably Encarta did not have the deep information of Britannica. However, it is more convenient with a variety of features for research and activities for learning. It consists of photos, music clips, videos, maps, and illustrations. It is helpful for teachers, students and parents because parents can participate in their children studies
Nevertheless, the current approach of both Britannica and Encarta suggests more emphasis on a business benefits and less interest in learning needs and demands of users.
