CHALLENGED BOOK REASONS (Schwaderer)

Links to sites with reasons why specific books were challenged or banned.

National Coalition Against Censorship : This, in my opinion, is the best site about censorship. Use the search feature on the left side to enter the book title and it will link to articles about specific challenges.

Banned Books Page : Created and maintained by a digital librarian at the University of Pennsylvania, this is a little bit difficult to navigate, but has information about specific books and links to other resources about banned/challenged books.

List of Banned Books from Wikipedia : This is actually a good source for challenge reasons.

Kenneth Spencer Research Library - Kentucky University : This is the catalogue of books from a special collection from 1955. For older books, this is an excellent site which includes much historical information. The link takes you to the United States section, but you can also click on other countries to see which books (up until 1955) had been challenged.

Genetics Research - Biology

Genetics Tools - Highly academic resource with information on modes of inheritance, using genetics tests, and ethical/legal considerations. Although the intended audience is physicians, there is a great deal of useful information.

Learn Genetics - Tutorial from the University of Utah. Lots of information here!

Genetics Alliance - Very good source for reliable genetic disease information.

Gene Almanac - Principles of genetics from the Dolan DNA Learning Center.

Television Past and Present - Mrs. Steers

Here are links to useful information for Mrs. Steers's TV paper:

Television History : Here is a quick 100-year timeline, but click on the other boxes for indepth looks at other decades.

Transforming Television: A PBS special from 2000 forecasts the future of television. Links to articles along the left side explore other related topics such as HD TV and Cable/Broadcast TV.

National Cable and Telecommunications Association : Organization with information about digital conversion, legislation, history, and statistics.

Digital TV: A Cringely Crash Course : PBS special report on the future of tv.

Wikipedia article on the History of Television : I hate to say it, but Wikipedia has a very solid overview of television history, with many links.
