Why
use the InfoTrac College Edition vs. A Web search engine? |
|
|
| |

The World Wide Web offers users a tremendous
amount of valuable information. But there's a lot
of valuable periodical, newspaper and other reference
information that's just not available on
the Web in one easy-to-get-to place. InfoTrac
College Edition offers the depth, breadth and
comprehensiveness of information that can't be
found anywhere else with one single search. With
the InfoTrac College Edition, you gain access to
more than 800,000 periodical, newspaper, and
other reference articles.
