CliffsNotes
CliffsNotes (formerly Cliffs Notes, originally Cliff's Notes and often, erroneously, CliffNotes) are a series of student study guides available primarily in the United States. The guides present and explain 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.[1]

In addition to guides for literature, the company produces several other series of guides, including:
- CliffsQuickReview: A quick reference for information on scholastic subjects, such as sciences, mathematics, and history.
