The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

<http:/www.utm.edu/research/iep/>

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (http:/www.utm.edu/research/iep/)is not yet competitive

with its print counterparts, either in comprehensiveness or depth, but it is useful, convenient and accurate. It also begins to show the potential of Internet reference works, in that it is at least sporadically updated, presents some competing views and allows full-text searching of entries with relevance ranking of search results. Some of the potential is missed in the current version: there should be consistent application of hyperlinks (active cross-references), but this will come. The 227 articles are often derived from print sources, although more original entries have been added. Authority is also a problem as the original source is not identified, nor are the original authors named. It's certainly worth a look but it isn't a substitute for any good print encyclopedia.
