PLEASE READ: Important Google Lit Trips Download Change

In order to pursue important funding that will make it possible to offer Google Lit Trips resources without cost, I’ve been advised to collect some very basic data on the project’s reach. Therefore I will be asking users to take a very brief survey prior to downloading Lit Trips. You can see the survey here.

The data is strictly for statistical purposes only and no personal information will ever be shared.

If you are a returning user, I would invite you participate in the survey regarding previous Lit Trip downloads you may have made.

Thank you for your understanding. I am looking forward to expanding the available resources quickly as a result of the data to be collected.

New Feature!  In addition to suggesting new titles for Google Lit Trips development, you can now see a list of existing requests.

Please take a few moments to suggest titles you’d like to see developed. This serves two very important purposes:

1. It helps determine priorities for new Lit Trip development.

2. 2.It provides important data for funding applications that help keep Google Lit Trips free to the end users.
