===Caution regarding subject areas===       
 
Subject areas listed here are heuristic. They are meant to help us along the way.  We realize that placement for many articles will overlap and some will not fit neatly into preset designations. At any rate, the Encyclopedia is ordered alphabetically by article, not by category.
 
  
===Getting Started===
+
The selection of subject areas is meant as a general guideline, and one of many ways to find an article. Many articles overlap and often intersect. ''New World Encyclopedia'' is ordered alphabetically by article and linked from one article to another. We also have a high-powered search tool for quickly locating articles by key words.
Prospective editors and contributors should find in this list a "sense" of where their scholarly training and expertise fits in. Settling into a starting place will help define our working relationships. However, contributors should be sure to cover their designated article topic without feeling restricted by a category name.
 
 
 
===Summary ===
 
The categories below are meant to guide and move us forward, not constrain us. The strength of this Encyclopedia lies in its vision, its governing philosophy, and its articles, not in a pre-imagined plan on how to divide all human knowledge.

New World Encyclopedia is ordered alphabetically by article and linked from one article to another. We also have a high-powered search tool for quickly locating articles by key words.
