Lesson 1a

1. 

The only thing the World Book School Kids edition says about the Badger's habitat is that they live close to the ground to dig and hunt small animals and they live at night.

2. The World Book School Student edition has MUCH more information on badgers. Although they do not have a huge picture in the entry like the Kids edition, it does have the same map and video on the badger. The kids edition has a few sentences to tell about the badger where the Student edition have paragraphs of information.

3. On the left side of the results screen shows all the types of material that has information on South Africa, the country I choose to search. On the right side has all the primary sources that could be used to get information on South Africa.  Once I click on the link, the main encyclopedia entry is in the middle and on the right has the index of the article that can be clicked on to get you to the part of the article you are interested in the most. Options would include the intro, people, land climate, and economy. On the right side there are still options for the primary sources and related information to the article.  I think that patrons would really want the main article the most, but the index on the left is going to be the most helpful so they can get to the specific information quickest. 

4. The World Book Discoverer offers many tools to help patrons that are not good English readers. The first tool is the read aloud toolbar that reads the article to you. Secondly, double click define a word function that defines the word for you. Lastly the whole left hand side is to help translate the entry into a different language.
