= SUMMARY =

The following is the contents of the Introduction to Yearbook Builder which is located in the Encarta 96 BBS on The Microsoft Network and on the Microsoft World Wide Web (WWW) page on the Internet.

Yearbook Builder is Encarta 96 Encyclopedia’s initial step in using the vast potential of online content and combining the relevance and perspective of today’s news with encyclopedic information. As a trial offer (September 1995 to August 1996), a 12-month subscription to Yearbook Builder is included free with Encarta 96 Encyclopedia.

This product feature, unique to the Encarta 96 Encyclopedia CD-ROM, was developed as a way to use online technology to keep Encarta Encyclopedia up-to-date, thus providing users with accurate and timely information broadening and improving their understanding of encyclopedia topics.

Yearbook Builder lets users download approximately 35 articles and several photos each month onto their computer hard drive – in less than ten minutes.

Introduction to Yearbook Builder
Each Yearbook Builder installment provides the Month in Review, a chronology of the month’s noteworthy events, and the yearbook updates, a collection of detailed essays that link to and enhance the information already in Encarta Encyclopedia. Thanks to exciting technology advances, the updates are automatically linked and integrated with existing Encarta Encyclopedia CD content so you can view them directly from existing articles.

The first installment, August 95, is included on the Encarta 96 Encyclopedia disc. Later installments are available in this Read-Only BBS or directly from the Encarta Web page:
