This brief article explains the results of a survey conducted by a librarian for her Ph. D. dissertation. There are a few good examples, but the research deals primarily with high school students. The survey author offers ideas to help minimize filtering problems.

This memorandum was written after the Supreme Court issued a ruling concerning filtering. It offers seven recommended steps for libraries to take, as well as interpretations of key points of The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). There are also links to other sources of information written specifically about the ruling.

This lengthy report is an extremely thorough exploration of Internet filtering software and its use. The authors work for the Free Expression Policy Project, and are decidedly against the use of filters. They offer extensive documentation of court opinions, and numerous examples of ineffective blocking performed by filters. Seven actions are recommended for libraries to promote safe Internet use while complying with current law.It is sure frustrating to lose all of the formatting when pasting into this blog!

Ya i know sometimes my formatting does stay either but what i do know is to get all type of type, bold, italics and so forth. try copying it all then pasting it into like windows notepad(to lose all formatting) and then copy it from notepad to the blog. This way you don't get all different types,sizes and formatting. As for the hanging citations. Try writing in MS word first then copy pasting (but make sure your in the compose tag on the top right of blogger)
Mike, I think what was causing most of my problems was following a format for annotations one of my other teachers required. We had to use a regular font for the citation, and a different one for the annotation. Now I know that changing fonts was making me pull my hair out when I tried to paste it into the blog or Google docs. Live and learn!
