"Essential
Articles has got to rival the Guinness Book
of Records as the single most important
resource in any school library. It should be
every student’s first stop in searching for
timely, topical manageable information about
issues ... Superb high quality contents
covering hundreds of issues and controversies
... Much more useful, infinitely more
accessible and far less biased than an
internet search ... flexible and
user-friendly ... gets better with every
volume"
Eileen
Armstrong, The School Librarian, Summer
2008
"I
have students researching obesity and they
are queuing up to use Essential Articles!
Ditto, Year 7 projects on animal rights -
they all found Essential Articles very
useful! Of course a lot of it is available
online but I think it's easier to find all
neatly bound and indexed!"
Barbara Turner, Kings Langley School
"Compelling
articles that support focussed discussion, in
contrast to ‘cut-and-paste’ internet
research."

fantastic"

"Much
internet information is subjective, partial,
or downright spurious - and there's simply
too much for students to take in. Essential
Articles helps provide manageable amounts,
with curriculum focus, and balanced points of
view. To cut through the clutter of current
awareness, it's crucial."
Alec Williams, Trainer, Consultant and former
SLA Chair
"An
excellent cross-curricular resource. I'm
delighted that it is to be published
annually."
Miss Marion Clark, Carnoustie High School
"Great
new format - our pupils really appreciate
it"
Sue Bussey, Derby High School
