In the past year an unprecedented assault on the freedom to read has escalated everywhere, especially in the United States, where many are experiencing book challenges firsthand, along with threats to library workers. This is the reason why this year 's Banned Books Week, which is celebrated on September 18-24, is more important than ever. We must continue to raise awareness about threats to intellectual freedom in any shape or form.

Banned Books Week

 

At the Frohring Library we try to keep as a diverse collection as possible, we do not want to censor or silence voices, and we encourage the JCU community to read a challenged book and raise awareness on the issue. The reason for challenging books are many, take a look at the infographic to discover the most common ones according to 2021 censorship reports.

Reasons for challenges

 

So join us and read a challenged book. You can find inspiration among the ALA list of Frequently Challenged Books or you can take a look at what is available in the Frohring Library:

Peer Review Week is an annual, community-led, global virtual event celebrating the essential role that peer review plays in maintaining research quality. The event brings together individuals, institutions, and organizations committed to sharing the central message that quality peer review in whatever shape or form it may take is critical to scholarly communication. The theme for the September 19-23, 2022 event is “Research Integrity: Creating and supporting trust in research.”

 

To help unpack the numerous layers of this year’s theme, The Peer Review week steering committee is launching a series of blog posts about the role of peer review in fostering research integrity before submission, during peer review, and post-publication. Conversations around the theme may be followed on the Peer Review Week Twitter account @PeerRevWeek with this year’s hashtags #PeerReviewWeek22 and #IntegrityAndPeerReview.
