ERAC Renews Encyclopedia BC Subscription

ERAC is pleased to announce it has renewed its subscription to Encyclopedia BC to ensure no disruption in service while EBC is working to redevelop its website. A new version of EBC is scheduled for release in the Fall of 2010 but the original version is currently available.

Product Details

The Encyclopedia of British Columbia is the definitive reference work on BC. With more than 4,000 entries and hundreds of photos, maps, tables and charts, the EBC is the source of readable and authoritative information on all the significant BC people, places and things that you would currently have to search a vast library to find.

The new EBC promises an upgraded user interface with targeted interactive pages for students, including popular search hints tied to the BC curriculum. With many content upgrades and updates, the new EBC is planned as a broad portal of British Columbia reference materials, continuously updated to ensure currency and relevance for BC learners.

Accessing EBC

For information on how to access EBC, please contact your District's ERAC Software Contact.
