These Web modules (Encyclopedia Galactica articles) are produced by multiple authors and one can have several different descriptions of a given subject
Note Presentations are not hyperlinked but they are built around a small unit of information -- the page with just a few items on it.
  • Font Size and hence information content per page limited by projection screen technology.
