references ex libris

It is dificult to find good paper references these days. Even the libraries are outcasting the old encyclopedias and the like references for the new digital versions of the same subjects.

So what is better? the encyclopedic dictionary or the old monographic style encyclopedia?.... we have not solved the problem so we gather both.... and a third style the thematic encyclopedia....

At the end there is no space left for the paper and we trend to use the digital releases of the same books but it seems to have lower results as a learning tool.... what will have ahead in Valpo...... libraries are few and they are not usually use friendly...... chileans are known as a average poor readers.... our vocabulary also is poor..... lack of reading some say.....

The average chilean has less than 3 books at home..... no way it is going to have a reference work which reflect our current poor language skills....
