Encyclopaedia Britannica is an English-language encyclopedia of general knowledge. It is the Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. published since 1768. The encyclopedia is maintained by nearly 100 full-time editors and more than 4,000 contributors. 32 and 32,640 pages were the 2010 version of the 15th edition that appeared in print. Since 2016, it has been published exclusively as an online encyclopedia Games and quizzes are organized on the platform and you can learn new knowledge through videos about history and society, science and technology, biographies, animals and nature, geography and travel, art and culture and money. I recommend you take the quiz on the platform, it's very interesting and informative. https://lnkd.in/dpvkNT-g

According to the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, there are around 2.8 million libraries worldwide.

The John Jermain Memorial Library has selected TIND Digital Archive to preserve and share its local history collections, including photographs, manuscripts, and oral histories. JJML joins a growing number of public libraries selecting TIND DA, such as San Francisco Public Library, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library and East Hampton Library, due to its user-friendly design, streamlined workflows and powerful batch tools that enable smaller teams to efficiently process and manage large volumes of archival material. 💙 Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/d6r8VTWj #LibraryTechnology #TIND
