The SparkNotes company is one of many “paper mills” that exist to provide high school and college students with condensed versions of classic literary texts so that the students will not have to read those texts in their entirety.

Students also use such digests to write papers, often directly copying the texts to avoid learning anything whatsoever. Professional libraries and educators have long condemned paper mills. I’d really prefer not seeing them advertised or even described on a reputable site like iLounge.

I see nothing wrong with such sites, they are useful. Of course I am aware of the cheating & dumbing problem, but I typically use them for quick reference. They will never save you of your necessary reading.

SparkNotes is not—and never will be—a paper mill site. We understand that our work can be abused, but we strive to educate our audience to use SparkNotes as a resource for learning, not cheating. In fact, we instruct students on how to cite their work, with specific examples of citation and definitions of plagiarism and how to avoid it; we support educators in the classroom with teaching texts like writing style guides and textbook companions. We offer hundreds of critical analyses of the most-studied works of literature, plus material on history, math and science, film, psychology—the list goes on. If you’re interested in learning more about us, check out our site—particularly our About pages, which explain in detail our mission and history.
