End of Era for Encyclopedia's Print Edition
Cauz noted that the online version serves more than 100 million people worldwide. The beauty of the digital version is that it can be updated constantly, while the print edition becomes obsolete before the ink even dries, he said.
"(This) is a commemoratory moment at Britannica," Cauz wrote on his blog. "We are energized by the fact that our efforts of the last few years have been successful. We have completed our transition from print publisher of the Encyclopaedia Britannica to a digital provider of knowledge and e-learning solutions. The success of this transition is not only a testament to our strong brand and dedication, but also to the esteem that society places on Britannica as a reliable, trustworthy source of knowledge and instruction."
