Canada Encyclopedia Now Available Online

The Canada Encyclopedia is now available free online at http://thecanadianencyclopedia.com/ . A simple keyword search is at the top of the site's main page or you can do an advanced search. (Advanced search appears in a popup window and seems to be Boolean simplified through a series of pulldown menus.)

A search for "conservation" found what appears to be 40 pages of results. Information included the article title, a brief summary, and a number of leaves to indicate relevance. The articles themselves appear in popup windows when you click on the article title. I found them well-written and nicely cross-referenced.

If you don't want to search, you can instead use the subject index, covering topics from agriculture to zoology. There are also featured articles (right now the featured article is about Pierre Elliott Trudeau), interactive maps, and graphics with demographic information about Canada.

Nicely done. Worth a look.
