Past and present included Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Leon Trotsky, Harry Houdini to Tony Blair, Desmond Tutu, Mohamed Yunas The resulting text is edited by over one hundred editors who fact check and edit for language level, written style, age level, so that we publish appropriately for adults, teenagers and children Part of obtaining an education is developing the ability to form a judgment about what you read, use and believe Encyclopædia Britannica (UK) Ltd. © 2011 Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.

Very effective technologically, but vast, and full of the relevant and the irrelevant.  What about the quality or correctness of the material? Britannica 4,000 expert contributors write the text whilst the editors check facts and edit the text so it is at the appropriate age level, neutral and peer reviewed. Protects students and teachers from the perils of confusing the terms ‘searching’ and ‘researching’.
