“Our school has just received a beautiful new set of World Book Encyclopedias!
We subscribe to the online version, but having the hard-copy as well is wonderful for teaching students about the format and use of encyclopedias. In our library research sessions I stress the importance of using information that is truthful and has been created by experts. Having the curated information from World Book Encyclopedias allows students to evaluate and verify information they get from AI and Google search results. They develop their academic skills, and their ability to find sources that are trustworthy. I still believe that it’s important to provide verified sources of information to students – and World Book is our go-to!”
