This website is really helpful because it’s specifically for the uprise against banning books. The websites page called “In the Media” is especially helpful to me because it’s all about the uprise against banning books and censoring books in the media. There are articles and documents all about what’s being done and said about censoring and banning books. Justin Stanley created “Uprise Books” to inform people about the issue of banned books and to get people involved in the uprise against the banning books. The website is a combination of facts and opinions which are very helpful.

This website is very helpful because it’s all about defining our rights in the “digital world” which also includes the banning and censoring of books online. I found the page about CIPA (the Children’s Internet Protection Act) very interesting because it shows the pros and cons of censoring/banning books (i.e. knowledge). Rainey Reitman created this information to help people understand the causes and effects, both good and bad, of censoring/banning information (books) in spite of age. The information is an appropriate mix of facts and opinions.

A.L.A. stands for American Library Association. This source was immediately interesting to me because it’s about specifically American library issues. “The American Library Association (ALA) is the oldest and largest library association in the world, providing association information, news, events, and advocacy resources for members, librarians, and library users.” (From the ALA.org’s “About ALA” page). Therefore this information is reliable and vested in the same interests as my topic.
