For many families it became the most important piece of literature they would ever buy and for others more of a hobby to try and read each and every article.

It was announced that all future editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica would now only be produced online and on CD to keep costs down and to remain competitive. Unlike websites like wikipedia, the Encyclopedia Britannica is still written purely by professionals of which around 100 are full time staff and another 4000 odd are part time staff who are entrusted in writing new articles and updating old articles. One of the goals of the Britannica is to write about every single aspect of knowledge known to humans keeping it an essential and invaluable research for scholars and teachers alike. |
