Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the
freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it
highlights the value of free and open access to information. Banned Books Week
brings together the entire book community; librarians, booksellers, publishers,
journalists, teachers, and readers of all types, in shared support of the
freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or
unpopular.
By focusing on efforts across the country to remove or
restrict access to books, Banned Books Week draws national attention to the
harms of censorship. Check out the frequently
challenged books section to explore the issues and controversies around
book challenges and book banning. The books featured during Banned Books
Week have all been targeted with removal or restrictions in libraries and
schools. While books have been and continue to be banned, part of the Banned Books
Week celebration is the fact that, in a majority of cases, the books have
remained available. This happens only thanks to the efforts of librarians,
teachers, students, and community members who stand up and speak out for the
freedom to read.
For more information on getting involved with Banned
Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read, please see Ideas and Resources. You can
also contact the ALA Office for Intellectual
Freedom at 1-800-545-2433, ext. 4226, or bbw@ala.org.

Hello, and welcome to the Government Information Minute.
This bi-weekly column is brought to you by the Government Information Librarians at the Indiana State Library. We cover current resources on Govt Info at local, state, national, and international levels. It’s all for you, to keep you updated and well-informed! Suggestions and comments welcome. Check out more Indiana Govt Info updates on Facebook and Twitter.
The nation’s 15th Annual Women's Health &
Fitness Day will be held September 28, 2016 at events throughout the U.S.,
organized by the Health
Information Resource Center.
Here in Indiana in 1994, the Indiana State Department of Health created
the Women’s Health Committee, comprised of women throughout Indiana
representing a variety of women’s health concerns. On Mother’s Day, 1998, Gov.
O’Bannon announced the establishment of the Office of Women’s Health (OWH) at the
Indiana State Department of Health. A Women’s Health Advisory Board of 38
members was formed. The Board still meets today, bringing diverse
representation of women’s health issues throughout the state to the office. The
members bring expertise in the following areas: legislative, medical issues,
rape and violence prevention, women in prison, cardiology, osteoporosis,
oncology, radiology, perinatal care, minority health, and mental health.
You can find Indiana resources on Gender Specific Health through the Indiana Office of Women’s Health
and national resources through viewing two useful indexes: Women’s Health A-Z
and MedlinePlus Women’s
Health. These indexes include: the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services Office on Women’s Health,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Women’s Health topic page,
and the Federal Drug Administration
webpage For
Women. For data at the national level exclusively on women, see these
organizations: National Center for Health Statistics FastStats for Women’s
Health, Statistics
from WomensHealth.gov, Women’s
Health USA 2013 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Fertility of
Women in the United States: 2014 from the U.S. Census Bureau. See the World
Health Organization’s Global
Health Observatory (GHO) data on Women and Health for worldwide data!
The Indiana State Library is developing a Bicentennial
manuscript collection, including correspondence, reports, pamphlets,
photographs, videos and other documentation. The collection will highlight
programs, services and events occurring in every Indiana county. If you are
creating bicentennial programs – or a collection of your own, please consider
sending us duplicates to join our effort. As part of our manuscript collection,
your donated materials will be accessible to all Hoosiers visiting the State
Library.
Participation in this unique preservation project only
requires sending the previously listed Bicentennial documentation to the Rare
Books and Manuscripts Division. Through our collective efforts, we can ensure
this important moment in Indiana history will be preserved for future
generations.
If you are willing to take part in preserving our Hoosier
heritage, please send your items to the following address:
Indiana State Library Attn: Bethany Fiechter, Rare Books and Manuscripts Division 315 West Ohio Street Indianapolis, Indiana 46202
If you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact Rare Books
and Manuscripts Supervisor, Bethany Fiechter, at bfiechter@library.IN.gov or (317)
