[WEB4LIB] web based online encyclopedia for eight to twelve year olds

[D.H. Mattison]

The Canadian Encyclopedia Online (http://www.canadianencyclopedia.ca/)
includes the English text of the Junior Encyclopedia of Canada (its called
TCE Junior Version on the site). The latter used to be available separately,
but it looks like it's all integrated now. Searches include the ability to
limit content to just the TCE Junior Version. You'd have to talk to The
Canadian Encyclopedia staff to find out if it's possible to restrict access
to just content from the TCE Junior Version.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] web based online encyclopedia for eight to twelve
year olds


Hi,

We plan to provide an online web based encyclopedia for eight to twelve year
olds? We also plan to restrict their access to this web site. Effectively,
we are hoping to give them the experience of accessing information using a
browser without incurring the headache of having to supervise their Internet
access.

Can anyone recommend a good encyclopedia for this purpose?

Regards
John
