ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee Chair Kent Oliver will participate in a virtual panel discussion with authors Chris Crutcher ("Whale Talk"), Sonia Sones ("What My Mother Doesn't Know") and 17 high schools, colleges and universities on Monday, September 25. Participants will hear about Crutcher's and Sones' experiences as frequently challenged authors, learn more about the history of book banning in the United States and examine contemporary issues in intellectual freedom and access to information. While only 17 schools with Internet2 will be able to interactively participate, all schools and libraries can log on and watch the discussion via the live Webstream at 10 a.m. EDT. The virtual panel discussion is sponsored by MAGPI at the University of Pennsylvania and utilizes Internet2. Additional support is provided by the Ohio State University, University of California at Los Angeles and Educational Service District 101 in Spokane, Wash. related links American Library Association (ALA) Webstream: Book Banning Discussion
