Title: Be careful little eyes what you see: Factors affecting challenges to materials in private college preparatory school libraries

Abstract: This study examines the state of materials challenges in private college preparatory school libraries located in the Southeast United States. Prior to the study, the topic of challenges to school library materials had only been examined in the public school setting. Through the use of survey methodology and telephone interviews, this two-phase study sought answers to three research questions: (1) What is the status of challenges to materials in private college preparatory school libraries in the southeast? (2) What is the status of outcomes of the challenges? (3) What are the factors that made a difference in influencing the outcome of the challenges?

Ten (25%) research participants indicated having had challenges during the period under study. Five challenged books were retained, two were restricted, and three were removed from library collections. Interview responses indicated that influential factors may include school environment, complaint background, librarian characteristics, materials selection pressure, existence of a challenge committee, and librarian intervention. This study serves as a foundation upon which to build future research efforts in similar settings.
