Searches of the web return Wikipedia as one of the first sites to check. At the same time, there are questions about how “true” entries in the “people’s encyclopedia” are.
Researchers don’t always have time to check a printed encyclopedia to verify facts. What else can you do?
If you are not ready to trust Wikipedia, try using MARVEL!.
MARVEL offers Encyclopedia Britannica in a variety of editions: School for grades k-12, Public Library and Academic. You can find any of the editions under B or under "Dictionaries & Encyclopedias" on the left side.
Old favorites in a new format - one more example of the power of MARVEL!
