Forbidden Fruit conference proceedings now available

"Forbidden Fruit: The Censorship of Literature and Information for Young People was a two day conference held in Southport,UK in June 2008. This collection of papers from the conference will be of interest to teachers, school and public librarians, publishers, and other professionals involved in the provision of literature and information resources for young people, as well as to researchers and students. The proceedings draw together some of the latest research in this area from a number of fields, including librarianship, education, literature, and linguistics. The topics covered include translations and adaptations, pre-censorship by authors, publishers
and editors, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and trans) materials, and the views of young people themselves. The proceedings are available as an e-book and in a printed version"
