FYI. Probably old news to most of the members of this list, but I thought the publicity was interesting.

      -- General Announcement --

     Grolier Interactive and Grolier Educational Announce Missouri's Choice
     of the Grolier Online Reference Collection

     After a competitive search for a `high-end, general purpose, online
     encyclopedia,' the Missouri Research and Educational Network, or
     MOREnet, selected the Grolier Online Reference Collection for their
     consortium of members, which includes 525 public school districts, 150
     public library districts, 47 higher education institutions, as well as
     other state agencies.

     The Grolier Online Reference Collection offers access to two of
     America's largest, most respected and authoritative encyclopedias -
     the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia (http://gme.grolier.com) and the
     Encyclopedia Americana (http://ea.grolier.com) and - specifically
     configured and supplemented for publication on the World Wide Web.

     Explaining why the Grolier encyclopedias were selected, Tony Wening,
     MOREnet's project director said, "Grolier is our top choice because
     they scored the highest in our strict evaluation of the competing
     online encyclopedias." The Grolier Online Reference Collection won
     MOREnet's sought-after order by excelling in the key categories of
     technical approach, access and Internet connectivity; and
     functionality, including the important criteria of:

             * Breadth and quality of content
             * Ease of use and ease of training
             * Applicability across members.

     The Grolier Online Reference Collection went live on MOREnet on June
     20.

     Thank You.
