Encyclopedia
An encyclopedia or encyclopaedia also known as "cyclopedia" or "cyclopaedia" is a collection (usually a book) of information. Some are called "encyclopedic dictionaries".[1][2][3][4]
All encyclopedias were printed, until the late 20th century when some were on CD-ROM and the Internet. 21st century encyclopedias are mostly online by Internet. The largest encyclopedia in the English language is English Wikipedia, which has more than 6 million articles. The second-largest is the Encyclopædia Britannica, which is the largest one that is printed. Either kind of encyclopedia can inform us on many different topics.
