York School is also purchasing Science in Context separately and would love to
see it included in the consortium bundle!
Thanks, Carla

Stevenson would, too! It rounds out the package - and we have been purchasing
separately....

Our science classes use Gale's Science in Context for general reference, and
that works pretty well.

Bellarmine still has the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology in
print. It is the 8th edition, c1997. It is a 20 volume set and gets very little
use. We are going to weed a lot of our reference books next year but for now I
plan on keeping this set.
We also have the HUGE McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Science & Technology,
Fourth edition, c1997.
I think the majority of science research here is being completed using the
Science database and the resources in Gale.

Hi, Cathy et al --
just wanted to echo Cathy's question. We've been having trouble for a couple of
years finding general science encyclopedias in print. It seems they've gotten
very subject specific. Perhaps science encyclopedias in print are going the way
of the Britannica? Ouch, wait a minute, just saw this: Encyclopedia
Britannica's COO jumps to
death<http://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/story/237593.html>. Perhaps too
apt a metaphor.
Anyhow -- I'd also be interested in what if any general science encyclopedias
people use -- print or digital. thanks!

Hi folks - two questions, as I pack up my library for construction:
1. Would anyone like a set of print New Grove Dictionary of Music & Musicians?
Which isn't so new - it's a 1980 edition. It's 20 volumes - a space hog unless
it's being used. We subscribe to the online one and this never gets used.
2. I have a Grolier New Book of Popular Science. Copyright 2002 = not so new.
It looks like they aren't making this any more, but our 6th and 7th graders
user this often. Does anyone have a good recent replacement for a general
science encyclopedia for middle school?
Thanks - Cathy
