The Encyclopedia of Earth

WEDNESDAY WEB WRAP-UP for January 17, 2007
This week’s Wrap-up is the Encyclopedia of Earth. According to its founders, it is “a new electronic reference about the Earth, its natural environments, and their interaction with society.” It is also produced collaboratively with the same sort of software by which Wikipedia is created. Unlike the latter though, contributors are carefully selected and considered experts in their respective fields. Content is also peer - reviewed before it appears in the Encyclopedia.

The site is easy to use. Visitors have the options of either searching by keyword(s) or browsing by author, an alphabetic listing of titles or by topic.
