Target: Reviews on Encyclopedias

[Bev Nelson <bev.nelson@SPRINGGROVE.K12.MN.US>]

Does anyone know of a recent review on Encyclopedias that would rate
them for a k-12 setting?  I try to buy a new set every year or at
least every other year.  Currently, we have World Book, Compton's,
Academic American, Americana, and an older set of Britannica.  I am
wondering about replacing the Britannica as I can do that for about
$1100 for the 32 vol. set.   This is supposed to be written at a
middle school to high school level.  Though we have a number of
electronic databases, my print encyclopedias get a pretty good
workout through the year.
