Peter Jacso Reviews the Online Version of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary 11th ed.
The August review on Peter’s Digital Reference Shelf has been posted. The reference resource guru and library school professor writes, “Excellent value for the price, although it is not always “right on the money.” It integrates the dictionary with other Merriam-Webster ready-reference sources � the thesaurus, the Collegiate Encyclopedia and the Spanish-English/English Spanish dictionary � very well and at a very good value.”
