Has anyone else had a look at the  New Page option released last week? My 
first reactions are somewhat mixed. A richer note function would have been 
useful within the pre-existing note field but I hadn't envisaged the option 
to  create  a separate web page.  This seems to be moving away from the 
idea of a Resource List.  Already there is overlap between use of the 
course VLE and Aspire Reading Lists.

We also noticed that academics could copy and paste from word into the New 
Page and  have concerns that this may be used as a 'short cut' to paste 
their reading list in from the course handbook (usually a word doc) rather 
than bookmarking resources and adding them to the list therefore making 
them available for review. It would need to be clear to academics that any 
Resources mentioned in a 'New Page' would not be part of the library review 
of the list.
