Britannica Online changes coming

Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc. is planning to release a new interface for Britannica Online in January 2006, and we would like give you a preview of the enhancements at: http://www.new.search.eb.com.

The current URL of http://www.search.eb.com will remain in place until January 1, 2006 to allow a smooth transition to the upgrade. After January 1st, 2006 the current Britannica Online URL will begin defaulting to the new interface URL of: http://www.new.search.eb.com.

Some highlights of the new interface are:

• New Daily News Sources: The New York Times, the BBC News, and the SBS World News.


• New Gateway to the Classics: An introduction to the significant works of literature, philosophy, history, and science.


• Expanded Research Tools: Including the newly added Notable Quotations search feature.
