Description:	The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia is based on the text of the Academic American Encyclopedia. First published in 1980, the latter quickly established itself as a highly respected reference work, combining unequaled currency with an authoritativeness equal to that of more venerable encyclopedias. The Academic American was the first encyclopedia to make its text available online, and it was the first to be released on a CD-ROM, which evolved into the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. Now, the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia is available directly on the World Wide Web, containing thousands of new and expanded articles, extensive hyperlinking, bibliographies and links to other sources of information on the Web. The Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia Online is updated monthly.
