Description:

Mindscape's Student Reference Library is accurately but not descriptively named. It should be called, "The Whole Enchilada" or "All the Gol-Durned Reference Stuff You'll Ever Need." This is such a great idea, a title that combines information from 10 sources, including full texts of 8 reference books. But Mindscape didn't stop there - they added hundreds of recordings of instruments and musical styles, trivia questions, a complete set of country and city maps, and an introduction video guide to help students get the most from the title!

Notes:

This title can be ENTIRELY installed on the hard disk, so you can use the CD-ROM for other programs at the same time - it takes 6.2 megs. Student Reference Library also features online support and is bundled with a browser and offer of Sprynet sign-up for Internet access. Our family is already using it extensively! A Macintosh version will be available in December 1996.

Features:

This program will automatically organize selected information into report format, including photos! Scan the contents of the reference sources singly or simultaneously. The Student Reference Library offers an incredible array of options and the 10 sources include: Concise Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Enhanced U.S. Electronic Roget's Thesaurus, 1996 Information Please almanac, The Written Word III, Readers Companion to American History, Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Simpson's Contemporary Quotations, Mindscape World Atlas, Limited Edition and the Mindscape U.S. Atlas, Limited Edition. It's an incredible resource at an excellent price.
