Lesson 1b World Book Encyclopedia Public Library Edition

Question #1
I looked up the fossa again just to see what the differences are between the World Book School and Public Libraries Kids versions.  The articles are the same and the layout is almost identical.  The public library edition is more colorful and does have more links available in the article that aren't available on the school edition.  here is the citation for the article:
Fossa. (2014). In Public Libraries. Retrieved from

Question #2

Once again the information  in the public library version was the same as the school edition though I do like the coloring on the PL edition better.  I think it is easier to navigate.  The information in the article was slight more in depth that the kids version.  Here is the citation:
Vogler, B. (2014). Fossa. In Public Libraries. Retrieved from
http://www.worldbookonline.com/pl/infofinder/article?id=ar753773 


Question #3

The results were once again identical to the school version and I do have to say that over all the public library versions have a better design that would make them easier to navigate.  The school versions tend to be monochromatic so everything blends in.  I am once again impressed by the amount of information offered.
