Booklist Online: More than 130,000 book reviews for librarians, book groups, and book lovers - from the trusted experts at the American Library Association

A classic reference title is now available online.  Gale/Cengage announced at ALA that the 17 volume Grzimek’s Animal Life Encyclopedia has been transformed to an interactive, media-rich online product (yes, this means subscription).  Touted as a knowledge portal, Grzimek’s will feature over 4000 species.  The online product will include audio tracks, maps, photos, videos, interactive pages, and links to periodicals and other resources.  Gale has also correlated the product to the national science curriculum.  It will be ready this Fall, in two interface designs.

Do you know how to pronounce Grzimek’s?  Nope, it doesn’t sound like grizzly, it’s more like “shim-icks.”
