Featured Online Resource: Computer Desktop Encyclopedia

This week’s Featured Online Resource is the Computer Desktop Encyclopedia (http://computerlanguage.com/). The Computer Desktop Encyclopedia was founded in 1978 when the founder of the company was unable to find a computer dictionary that would work in the computer classes he was teaching. The dictionary started out with 300 entries and now has over 30,000. 

The site offers the option of searching for a particular term, browsing by letter, or getting the Tech Term of the Day. This site also offers users the option of downloading the dictionary to their iPhone, Android, or Windows device.

Every week, the Ort Library brings you a new and outstanding resource from the Web or from one of the library's databases. To get an archive of all FOR entries, click here. Also, you can suggest a website that provides well-organized access to useful info.
