Encyclopaedia Britannica Stops Print Publication

Encyclopaedia Britannica, the oldest English language encyclopedia, has been printed in hefty volumes for the last 244 years, but it just announced that it will end publication of its printed editions and continue solely with digital versions available online.

Come to the library to see the now near-extinct 2005 print version of Encyclopaedia Britannica in the reference area (call number
AE5 .E363 2005). It takes up a couple of shelves!
