6、formation, the printed encyclopedia? Although the personal computer seems to have infiltrated almost every aspect of our daily lives, some people still like to do things the old-fashioned way, including Chicago librarian Margaret Keer. All the librarians, frequenily, hourly, more than hourly, we nee

7、d them, she said. They are quick; theyre easy and vital. We couldnt do without them. One of the questions Ive been asked is if you could only have five or 10 source books to answer all the questions that you might be asked, what would you pick? World Book is always in the top five. Ms. Keers colleag

8、ue Ruth Lednicer, is charged with promoting high tech advances in the Chicago Public Libraries, including research on the Internet.

9、ednicer. What other imagination would you can tap into a whole other world of imagination? Its great for kids to get them reading, to get them appreciating the tactile sense of picking up books.

10、 Britannica for his children. I had an encyclopedia when I was a kid so 1 figured this is something that my children should have, he said. It was expensive but I did make the investment. The kids were excited when they got the encyclopedias. They came in a big box with a build-it-yourself bookcase.

11、But what was most interesting was that, and this was in 1996, it came with a CD, and I said to them, see this little CD, everything thats in those books is on this little disk, and they thought that was amazing.

Mike, a 6th grader from Chicago, says his ticket to finding information is at his local branch library, but not in a book. On the Internet because you

14、have a wider selection, he said. Or 1 might just look up in a book, but I dont usually use an encyclopedia. Using the Internet as a first choice does not worry Paul Kobasa, World Books general managing editor. We dont see the Internet as a threat its an opportunity, he said. There are things we can

15、present to our readers on line that were unable to do in print. And were more than happy to take advantage of that medium, on-line or CD. Its a continuation of the tradition that started when World Book was first printed. Then it was the story of the world in pictures and text, now its the story of

16、the world in media and text. But Mr. Kobasa says there is still a market for the printed version. The move to electronic media is just the latest format change in the way encyclopedias deliver information. Its unlikely to be the last. 2.

In 1999, Dr. Jerri Nielsen went to the South Pole as part of a research team. She was prepared for the cold and the hardships of such an adventure; she was not prepared for can

51、cer. Dr. Nielsen was the only medical doctor in her group. Assoon as she found a lump in her breast, she knew she was in for trouble. Because of the winter weather conditions, she could not leave the Pole, nor could anyone fly in to help her. How could she even diagnose herself, no less treat her ow

52、n disease? The only possible way to save her life was through the use of telemedicine. Because she was able to communicate, via computer, with doctors thousands of miles away, Dr. Nielsen and her colleagues were able to save her life. Had this technology not existed, the doctor would surely have per

53、ished long before she could get out of that frozen land. Simply put, telemedicine is the use of telecommunications to provide medical, information and services. This technology enables doctors to communicate with specialists at long distances, as well as allowing patients to communicate with their d
