Abstract

We collected the tags associated with the American Library Association's Top 100 Banned/Challenged Books: 2000-2009 on Library Thing, GoodReads and BiblioCommons and examined the tags for terms that matched the reasons given for challenging the books, the general age ranges assigned to the books, and the subject matter of the books. User tags demonstrated an awareness of censorship issues related to banned or challenged books as well as an awareness of subject areas that were potentially controversial.
