on-line encyclopedia subscription

Good afternoon=2C

I am trying to evaluate use of on-line encyclopedia subscriptions with 5-8t=
h grade students.
We've had Britannica- Student edition subscription and I have noticed that =
my students were not really enthusiastic about using it for their researche=
s. Most of my middle school students complained that it's too limited and n=
ot easy to navigate.

Do you have a subscription? Which encyclopedia do you use?
Do you feel the need for providing such service?
Do you teach using an on-line encyclopedia or just keep it as available to =
students resource?

Thanks in advance for your responses=2C
