The Encarta encyclopedia has been installed on a computer in the center. The advantage of the software relative to the book is that the search takes about as long as it takes to type the entry, and you see an immediate listing of topics, subtopics and related topics to choose from. The disadvantage is that if the computer is not booted and/or the program is not running, it may take a few minutes before it's ready for your search. To find an item:
type search, select article, look for multimedia
| Type a word or phrase into the search box, e.g., "wolf"
|
| This will bring up several topics related to the topic
|
| Choose one by clicking on the link
|
| Many articles have a link to various multimedia (images, videoclips, sounds) at the top
|
| Longer articles may have an outline of the article
