Starting today, if you go to http://oplin.org/worldbook you will see 
that the page looks different. It starts with a list of World Book 
"versions" for schools, then continues with a list of "versions" for 
public libraries.

The content of the school versions is the same as the content of the 
public library versions. So:
	FOR SCHOOLS		FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES
	 WB Kids	=	 WD Online for Kids
	 WB Student	=	 WB Online Info Finder
	 WB Advanced	=	 WB Online Reference Center

The only difference is the user interface for accessing the content, 
which is designed to be either school friendly or public library friendly.

Note that http://ohioweblibrary.org/worldbook also works as a shortcut 
link. In fact, you can substitute "ohioweblibrary.org" for "oplin.org" 
in any of the links on the http://oplin.org/databases page. If you share 
shortcut links with patrons, they might find it easier to remember 
"ohioweblibrary.org/worldbook" instead of "oplin.org/worldbook."
