An encyclopedia is a series of books that contain general information about many topics. It is somewhat like a dictionary except that it covers more factual information than that of a dictionary. The encyclopedia will not provide you with as much information as a textbook, but it does give a basic overview of each topic, so that you will have a place to start learning.
It often includes illustrations, maps and photographs and you can explore in depth on a topic that you are interested in. Just like a dictionary, the articles in the encyclopedia are arranged in alphabetical order.
Nowadays you can access the encyclopedia via the world wide web. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that anyone can access. Wikipedia is used as a research tool. Having able to access the encyclopedia through the internet makes it easier for students to do their school project.
