The Classics Library ‘died’ yesterday (Saturday 26th February). It was very upsetting. It’ll take a lot of hours to get the site back to where it was, and I hope you’ll be patient with me. I know things look different, but it’s still very easy to access the resources!
What do you need to do?
You need to click on either ‘Sign Up’ (top of page) or ‘Register’ (right of page) and complete the basic info. You choose which email address you want to be registered with, and you choose your own password. Once you’ve registered, please log in. You’ll find a link to the Resources by your login-status, next to your name.
Your registration information is kept private within this site. This site, unlike FaceBook and the old Classics Library Community, is hosted entirely by myself, and your details remain with this site. The only information requested is: name, email address, school/organisation. The latter is purely to ensure legitimate teaching status for membership.
This disaster may in fact result in a much more powerful and interactive site (something I’ve wanted for some time now), so I’m trying to see this as an opportunity. Within this one site we should be able to create forums and easily contact other members (to ask for resources, promote an event, promote a forthcoming teaching position, and so on. You can create Groups with a particular focus, lead them, and invite members to them. You can even host your own blog on a particular topic, say about a new initiative you’re trying out at your school, where members can comment and help with advice and support.
I’m sorry about the change. I wasn’t expecting to have to do this, but I hope it’ll be MUCH better for us for the future.
