Several years ago at another school we bought a CD of Cliff Notes. We
were asked to pull it. We didn't, but we did find out the reason was
that the teacher was using it as the basis of his lectures.
What can I say? ;-)
We refer students to a site called Novel Guide,
http://www.novelguide.com/
Also, we have MasterPlots available in our reference collection. There
are are also several other books in both the general and reference
collection that provide analyses of novels.
Cliff Notes is just one source of many. I wouldn't block it.

Hi,
Has anyone ever been asked to have their library's computers have
blocked
access to sites such as www.CliffNotes.com? I've been asked by one of
our
English teachers but our Tech coordinator said that he wouldn't do it
since
it is a legitimate site (i.e. it's not porn or games, etc.). Obviously
the
kids can access sites like CLIFFNOTES .com at home and elsewhere but I
didn't think it was an unreasonable request by the teacher since we
certainly don't condone the use of them and really don't want them used
at
school.
I'd appreciate hearing other's thoughts.
Thanks!
