Have You Ever Really Considered a Fine Set of Encyclopedias?

This is not a surprise, but in homes across America, the encyclopedia is going the way of the dodo. As someone who once roamed the stacks of the WVU library and is a researcher for a living, I suppose I should lament this passage. Can't say as I do, however. Between CD-ROMs and the 'Net, there's much more information out there that is much easier to find than in the old "look in the book" days. More information at your fingertips is always a good thing in my book.
