'''CliffsNotes''' are a series of student [[study guide]]s. The guides present and create literary and other works in [[pamphlet]] form or online. Detractors of the study guides claim they let students bypass reading the assigned literature. The company claims to promote the reading of the original work and does not view the study guides as a substitute for that reading.<ref name="about" />
