Bartleby Adds Reference Works

Bartleby.com ( http://www.bartleby.com ) announced yesterday the addition of several online reference works to their Web site (which has brought to you the Fanny Farmer Cookbook among other things.) They have added the following items: Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition (discussed in an earlier buzzbit) The American Heritage(R) Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition Roget's II: The New Thesaurus, Third Edition Simpson's Contemporary Quotations The American Heritage(R) Book of English Usage The reference section is at http://www.bartleby.com/reference/ .. I haven't looked at all of them but the Thesaurus -- at http://www.bartleby.com/62/ -- can be a little confusing. The main part of the page has divisions by which you can browse for words: lax to mammoth, man to monopoly, and so on. You may have to look around for a moment before you realize that the drop down search menu at the top of the page includes an option for searching the thesaurus.
