McGraw-Hill Launches AccessScience

Posted on June 2, 2000

McGraw-Hill Education has announced the launch of AccessScience, an online research tool that is built around the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology. AccessScience combines McGraw-Hill's reference capabilities with new online services.

``AccessScience sets a new standard for scientific reference information available over the Internet. It combines the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology, which is the cornerstone of research in the scientific community, with the speed and integrating power of the Internet to make a huge body of scientific and technical knowledge immediately accessible to a much broader audience throughout the world,'' said Robert E. Evanson, president of McGraw-Hill Education.

``Launching this innovative new product is another example of how McGraw-Hill Education is moving aggressively into electronic media to provide multidimensional educational materials to a variety of audiences. For science researchers, scientists, students, librarians, teachers and professors, and science enthusiasts, AccessScience makes the most current scientific information only a mouse-click away,'' Evanson added.

The McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology forms the foundation of AccessScience. Unlike the print version which is published every five years, the electronic encyclopedia is continuously updated. Other services, such as news and more than 60,000 links are also provided with the online service.

McGraw-Hill Education is an educational publisher with 1999 revenues of $1.73 billion. It is a unit of The McGraw-Hill Companies, a global information services provider serving the financial services, education and business information markets.
