The Poetry Archive exists to help make poetry accessible, relevant and enjoyable to a wide audience. It came into being as a result of a meeting, in a recording studio, between Andrew Motion, soon after he became UK Poet Laureate in 1999, and the recording producer, Richard Carrington. They agreed about how enjoyable and illuminating it is to hear poets reading their work and about how regrettable it was that, even in the recent past, many important poets had not been properly recorded. Titan Books - Few publishers share creative content online in a way that rewards readers while boosting sales. This is why Titan Books, which specialises in graphic novels and film and TV tie-ins, is so refreshing, because it balances these needs but doesn’t over-sell its products. Instead the site offers exclusive interviews with authors, fascinating blogs and an individual style that brings the brand to life without seeming self-important.

The attractive, themed homepage gives you access to all areas of the site - including the whole of the extensive Usborne catalogue and the gift-ideas section - while still finding space for illustrations, while the search facility suggests titles as you type. Usborne's resources for teachers and home-based booksellers have been seamlessly integrated, while the tab-based design makes it easy to switch between reviews, author information and extra content, including the welcome ability to read first chapters online. Wikipedia is the web encyclopaedia that anyone can edit. Any user can read, add, delete or edit pages, on any topic, as long as the content is factual. The work of a dedicated team of editors means that the 1.6 million articles - 600,000 in English and the others in 194 other language editions - are largely accurate and clear, and those that are nor are clearly indicated as such. |
