Banned Books
Banned Books is a project to bring public libraries together with organisations that promote freedom of expression to raise awareness of censorship and raise the profile of libraries.
The Banned Books UK website was developed by Codeface in 2010, launching in October to coincide with international Banned Books week, which draws attention to issues of censorship.
Using Ruby on Rails, we created an online nominations system so that library staff and representatives of NGOs around the UK could propose books to be featured on the site.
We also set up an admin system to allowed staff of the Banned Books project to organise the featured books into categories and add book cover images.
As well as featuring information about the selected books, the Banned Books website included a quiz, a listings calendar and a prize competition.
The finished site was given the Codeface SEO treatment to ensure it performs well in search engines.
