World Book Online Reference Center - very cool!  I chose Norway as my country.  On the first screen, I'm able to view maps, encyclopedia articles, tables, pictures and websites.  Once I clicked on "Norway", I was able to find information on the government, people, way of life, climate, history, etc.  On the right side, I was able to view interactive maps, which would be very fun/useful to the patron.  Another great item were the "tools" - where I could print the full article, email, save to My Research, and hear it read aloud.

I need to delve further into this database - great information!

  1. Norway is my favorite search!! There is a lot of information in the World Book Advanced articles. Did you notice you could listen to the national anthems and other music in the country article? Thanks for your post
