How to Purchase Microsoft Encyclopedia and Dictionary Software

You dont need to go back and get a degree to learn something new. Microsoft offers an array of reference software that can teach you just about anything you need to know from the comfort of your own home, using your own computer. Available in the form of DVDs or CD-ROMs, these discs can help you to learn new skills or master existing ones.

What Are Some Software Categories?

Theres no limit to what you can learn using encyclopedia and reference CD-ROMs, and you can update your computer with engaging content and new editions of older software to expand your learning base or help your kids learn something new.

• Encyclopedia discs, such as Encarta, come in many editions and let you look up different subjects. The discs are also interactive, so learning becomes a hands-on experience.
• A program called Bookshelf is like a reference library that you can put on your computer.
• Explorapedia is the Microsoft Encarta version for kids. Geared towards young learners, this interactive disc allows kids of all ages to immerse themselves in learning about nature using many photographs, videos, and illustrations to capture young imaginations.

Whats in the Microsoft Encarta Reference Suite?

You can purchase Encarta encyclopedia discs separately, but when you purchase an entire suite, you get five discs packed with information. The Encarta Suite is compatible with the Windows operating system.

• The Encarta Virtual Globe is a comprehensive representation of Earth along with three-dimensional maps.
• The Suite also contains Bookshelf, a library that you can obtain separately or in this five-disc set.
• The Suite comes with a dictionary as well as an almanac.

What Comes in the Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe Set?

The Encarta Encyclopedia Set is a three-disc set that offers complete tools for research purposes. Unlike traditional encyclopedias packed with still images, the interactive multimedia system makes learning come to life in a way that books cant. Engaging and interesting, the Deluxe Set is an effective way to get kids interested in a variety of topics. 

• One disc includes the encyclopedia itself, allowing users to look up many subjects and find information instantly. You can even tour historical landmarks in 3D and look up facts from the Internet that pertain to the topics youre researching, giving you even more tools at your disposal.
• The second disc is the Researcher, which helps you to organize your information. This comes in handy if youre working on a project or need to complete a presentation in a certain format.
• The set also comes with the Online Deluxe version of Encarta, which connects you to Web content that pertains to your topics of interest.
