The following is the contents of the Introduction to Yearbook Builder which is
located in the Encarta 96 BBS on The Microsoft Network and on the Microsoft
World Wide Web (WWW) page on the Internet.
 
Yearbook Builder is Encarta 96 Encyclopedia's initial step in using the vast
potential of online content and combining the relevance and perspective of
today's news with encyclopedic information. As a trial offer (September 1995 to
August 1996), a 12-month subscription to Yearbook Builder is included free with
Encarta 96 Encyclopedia.
 
This product feature, unique to the Encarta 96 Encyclopedia CD-ROM, was developed
as a way to use online technology to keep Encarta Encyclopedia up-to-date, thus
providing users with accurate and timely information broadening and improving
their understanding of encyclopedia topics.
 
Yearbook Builder lets users download approximately 35 articles and several photos
each month onto their computer hard drive -- in less than ten minutes.
