Do you own a set of encyclopedia? Do you still use them?

Answer 1

Yes I do own a set of encyclopedia, I use them occasionally, but they are a little dated, so I mostly use the search engine on the Internet. My daughter used to use them for school and neighbours children now use them, for assignments etc too.

I have been thinking about giving them to my neighbours children but not sure they appreciate or look after them properly. I feel children need to learn how to look for information in bboks, not just the internet.

Answer 2

Yes a complete set of World Book from 1996

Answer 3

Yes, a 1967 World Book set, my grandmother's gift to me when I was born. They're interesting to read, if only to see how the cold war was a part of darn near everything in those days.

I've got the Brittanica set on DVD now and I use it every so often, though the internet is more convenient.

Answer 4

sYes world book. my second set, it's hard to part with something you paid over $800.00 for in 1988. I use to tell my kids when they asked me a question "go look it up in the encyclopedia!". My kids will use them still for their book report so they have more than just a bunch of references from the Internet.

Answer 5

yes, but I never use them, the internet is free and more up to date. Encyclopedias are obsolete.

Answer 6

Yes we own two sets but hardly ever use them.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
