World Book Advanced

Today, I am using World Book Advanced and all I can say is "Wow!" I am searching for information about Australia and I cannot believe the amount of information and other resources that can be found in this one spot!
The first results screen provided 1,556 encyclopedia articles alone along with additional sources such as maps, tables, pictures, videos and animations, historical items, web sites, and research guides. These would be very helpful for a patron to use as a shortcut. The primary sources and e-books provide additional information. I love the "save to my research" tool as well. It would come in handy for someone who might be doing extended research.
I chose the first encyclopedia article for Australia. I listened to a snippet of Australia's national anthem called "Advance Australia Fair" which I think is a very neat addition. The article contents on the left would help patrons wade through all of the information available to them and allow them to jump to the item that might be of most interest. For example, if a patron were planning to travel to Australia, one could click on "Tourism" for a listing of sights to see or click on "Climate" to get a good idea of when to plan the trip. If a patron were looking for a book on Australia, the information available on the right side of the screen would be helpful as well.
Within the article itself, I found maps and tables that provide additional information on the area as well as pictures and videos once again.
