Acknowledgements
and Thanks
I would like to begin by thanking the
Occidental College Librarians who helped guide me
along the way with this exhibit from its inception to
its final layout, including, but not limited to, Dale
Stieber, Marsha Schnirring, and Marla Peppers. I would
also like to thank Special Collections Student
Assistant Stephanie Tardif for helping with the layout
and the other grunt work involved with building an
exhibition. Additionally, I want to thank the Mellon
Librarian Recruitment Program for the opportunities it
has given me to explore the profession of
librarianship.
The American
Library Association's Banned Books Week website
proved to be an invaluable resource for putting
together this website and learning about banned and
challenged books. The questions for my Banned Books
Week FAQ are based in part on the ALA's
Banned Books Week page. The website of Banned Books,
an independent online bookstore, was also an excellent
source for my research.
An extensive list of resources I explored
while designing this exhibition can be found at the Additional Resources page of
this site.
Credit is also due to Mellon Summer 2004
Library Intern Aleks Sedzielarz ('06). The idea and
the basic design of this page is based in part on an online exhibit
he created around Oxy's Poet Alumus Robertson Jeffers.
His website is well designed and a fascinating
"virtual gallery" to Jeffers' work.
