Encyclopaedia Idea1 New Library Feature Proposal 22 The Encyclopaedia

Encyclopaedia Idea2 Thought Behind Metaphor The metaphor describes the real life source of comprehensive summaries of knowledge. As the user may turn to an encyclopaedia for information and guidance, they should be able to access one online.
