Grolier Online has been designed to run without the need for plug-ins. However, some Grolier Online articles contain two versions of their graphical content. The “multimedia-rich” version features multimedia elements that require audio or video software available only on higher versions of your browser or that require you to download this software as a plug-in. Any features requiring a plugin are not included in the standard version. The choice of “multimedia rich” or “standard” is made at the time of subscription (that is, by the librarian acquiring the license); it is not selectable by the library patron or end user. Currently, the only video player required or supported by Grolier Online is QuickTime. If you are running browsers with QuickTime already installed, or are willing to accept a QuickTime plug-in, please be sure to indicate your preference for the “multimedia rich” version on your license agreement.
