Dictionary, Schmictionary, What difference does it make?
Ad for Dictionary

You are the Media Specialist for a high school that needs to replace its collection of aging dictionaries. You know print dictionaries are very expensive, and you have decided to look at an online dictionary as a cheaper alternative. You are not sure, however, that an online dictionary is as good as a print one.

When you mentioned this concern to one of your library helpers, the student asked, "Dictionary, schmictionary, what difference does it make?"

It's a good question. You have decided to do some research and then present a recommendation to your principal. You will also create a poster advertising your choice to students.
