Cooper's Taxonomy - Literature Review Demystified - LibGuides at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

But don't be afraid. All it is doing is laying out some simple questions you should ask yourself before beginning a Literature Review. For example, the first row, "FOCUS," is asking what outcomes, methods, theories or practices your literature review is about. Are you tracking the outcomes of previous studies, the methods that have been used over time, or something else? You don't need a definitive answer to all these questions, but they will help focus your research. Questions to consider: ALSC Committee Pages - ALSC.

Tiny Tips for Library Fun. Adam Ruins Everything. KC Public Library officials defend employee and patron arrested during diplomat's talk. Kansas City Public Library officials said Friday they are outraged that the city continues to pursue the prosecution of an employee and a patron arrested at a public event earlier this year.

KC Public Library officials defend employee and patron arrested during diplomat's talk

The arrests occurred after a provocative question was asked at the question-and-answer period of a May 9 talk by diplomat Dennis Ross. For months, library officials protested that the arrests and charges were a violation of the First Amendment. The library did not go public with its opposition until recently, with city prosecutors appearing determined to pursue charges. Police have stood by the arrests, saying that off-duty officers hired by an event sponsor acted properly in helping private security stop an audience member from asking follow-up questions after a short exchange with Ross. The audience member, Jeremy Rothe-Kushel of Lawrence, was standing still and speaking into a microphone when a private guard and off-duty police officers removed him. On Friday, R.

Justice Louis D. Brandeis

Supreme Court, Louis Dembitz Brandeis (1856-1941) tried to reconcile the developing powers of modern government and society with the maintenance of individual liberties and opportunities for personal development.

Judge Dismisses Final Lawsuit Between Orland Park PL, Bloggers

District Judge John J. Tharp Jr. dismissed a second amended complaint filed by Bridget Bittman, former public information director of the Orland Park Public Library (OPPL), IL, against New Jersey–based blogger Dan Kleinman, who describes himself as a “library watchdog” on his website SafeLibraries. Bittman’s complaint was one in a series of suits and countersuits between local bloggers Megan Fox and Kevin DuJan and their associate Kleinman, touched off after Fox alleged that she saw a man looking at pornography while at the library in 2013.

Fox and DuJan, eventually joined by Kleinman, challenged OPPL’s Internet filtering policies—first approaching the library’s board of trustees at their regular meetings, then initiating a lengthy series of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, leading to a string of legal battles and Bittman’s eventual resignation.

Orland Park Public Library Subject of New Book About Censorship

The Bizarre War that One Public Library Waged Against the First Amendment by Megan Fox and Kevin DuJan debuts later this month, recounting how the Village of Orland Park, the Orland Park Police, and Orland Park Public Library staff and trustees engaged in acts of censorship, harassment, and intimidation to frighten away and silence critics of the Library (who had discovered that Library staff looked the other way and allowed sex crimes to happen and even child porn to be accessed for years without calling the police). We covered this story in great detail over the last few years and are looking forward to reading Fox & DuJan’s full account of everything that transpired.

Repeatedly, we watched media outlets like The Chicago Tribune, The Orland Park Prairie, the Daily Southtown, the Orland Patch, and Crain’s Chicago Business refuse to accurately report on bad things happening in the Orland Park Public Library.
