Wikipedia, which was launched in 2001, now has more than 20 million articles in 283 languages.
Of course, Britannica now has a really big competitor. Most libraries don’t require you to live in town to get a library card. You log on with your library card number. Some libraries offer free online access to Britannica and you don’t have to be at the library to use it. I tried the iPhone app and it has some pretty nice resources, even if you don’t pay for full access.īut before you pay for Britannica, consult your local librarian. You can buy the DVD edition - complete with videos and audio clips - for $29.95, and get a free six-month subscription to the online version.
The free iOS app lets you view the first page of each article at no charge, but if you want full access, it’s $1.99 a month. The company will, however, maintain its online and DVD editions as well as an (iOS) edition for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
