This looks like it might be useful -

Microsoft Student 2006 is an assorted package of resources for students enrolled in middle-school through the beginning years of college. Some of these resources include: a world atlas for geography; a graphing calculator and chart maker for math and sciences; book summaries, a dictionary, thesaurus and Translation Tools for literature.

Student 2006 also includes the full Encarta Premium 2006 release and Web companion to scour encyclopedia content from Internet.

Interested students can apply to the beta test by completing a nomination survey at Beta Place using the Guest ID: StudentBeta06.

Note: Testers will be admitted into the program based upon survey results.

No word yet on what the final product will sell for.

The alternative looks to be
Evernote.

I've been using the beta since last October. Like it a lot.

EverNote works on a PPC?
The website only listed 2000/XP/Tablet PC...wonder if my failing eyes didn't see the right download.

They will have a PPC/Palm sync available either in the next release in May or a release in June. Not set in stone, so , monitor the
forum.

I'm not sure what Office and OneNote has to do with this?

This looks like it is going to be a subscription service, similar to HomeworkHelper or eLibrary, where for a monthly fee the student has access to closed databases normally available only in a library, ie full text newspaper and magazine articles, encyclopedias, etc.

If your student is old enough to need Office/OneNote, MS does offer the Student & Teacher Edition (similar to Office Basic) at a very good price, and OneNote has always been a $99 add-on, unless you got it with Office Premier or whatever its called

KIM, this online reference is geared to Middle-High School students, and would more than likely be paid for by their parents.
