The McGraw‐Hill CD‐ROM Science and Technical Reference Set contains, on a single disk, the 1984 editions of the McGraw‐Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Science and Technology and the McGraw‐Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms. The Encyclopedia contains 7,300 articles on all aspects of science and technology written to provide short, but comprehensive coverage of each topic. The Dictionary, in its 3rd edition, contains some 98,500 terms and 115,000 definitions. The combined 4,000 pages of these two important, first‐stop reference works together with their illustrations are contained on one CD‐ROM searchable under Reference Technology's Full Text Manager software. The user can enter single or multiple terms, authors or titles to retrieve information. Articles, selected from a summary list, may be read, printed or downloaded to disk. While in the Encyclopedia, special dictionary functions let users view term definitions through window overlays.
