Main Aims:

• To help pupils make their selection for the Specialist Study: Literature at Higher & Advanced Higher level

• Enable pupils to identify sources of literary information which will enrich their experience of the texts

• Assist librarians and teachers by providing information which can be accessed independently by pupils 

Policy:

• Texts selected for inclusion will relate to the requirements of Higher & Advanced Higher

• The selection will be made from the best material, published in the last 20 years, and currently available

• The main criteria for selection will be that texts are well written and deal with issues in a responsible way

• "Scottish” is defined as: by a Scottish born writer, having a Scottish theme, or reflecting Scottish life and culture

•  In the case of texts which meet the above criteria but may be considered controversial or offensive, their inclusion will be subject to consultation with Senior English Specialists

• Suggestions will be considered by an editorial group of Librarians

• In the event of disagreement the final decision will rest with the Reading Webs Committee

• The web site will be maintained, updated continuously and reviewed annually

Process:

• Suggestions for inclusion may be sent to members of the working group at any time

• Where possible the person making the suggestion should write a short blurb for the book they are suggesting ( see guidelines )
