Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy - Online

Hekman Library has a print copy of the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy (1998, 10 vols.) , but we're thinking of purchasing the online edition.

To try it out, use this link: http://www.rep.routledge.com from anywhere on Calvin's campus. If you want to try it out from home, send me a note and I'll send you the username and password for our trial ( lschempe@calvin.edu ). We have the trial through February 25, 2011

Here's a review of the encyclopedia by Robert Kirk from Mind: A Quarterly Review of Philosophy, vol. 111, no. 442, pp. 386-388, April 2002.

And, of course, let us know what you think - is this something you would use, or recommend for student use? How does it compare with the free online Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy?
