Harry Potter as a set text?

Really?
Erm….why?

I think Vanessa on the Fidra Blog says it all best….

Lets just hope the SQA doesn’t get such daft ideas into their collective mind, or the youth of Scotland will be churning out fan fiction / poems based on William McGonnagall’s work…although JK Rowling may have got there first, having already borrowed his surname for a character!

Definite improvement from Lexis Nexis

Having had to delve in quickly already this morning, I’m liking the redesign.
My main delight is the fact that, when using Stair Memorial Encyclopedia (our main reason for subscribing), there’s now a lovely new option.
Previously, to see a whole section of the encyc, you had to click individually on each separate paragraph.
Now, when you click into a para, there’s a lovely option in the top right that says “View whole of”…it’s a joy!
Now I can scroll merrily through the encyclopedia, without thinking that it’d actually be quicker to use the paper version!
Well done Lexis Nexis!

Now, off to get used to the navigation (already re-sorted my bookshelf) before someone else needs me to do something useful with it!
