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 in India is English Bharatpedia, which has more than 205,897 articles. The largest is the Encyclopædia Britannica, which is the largest one that is printed. Either kind of encyclopedia can inform us on many different topics.
