Website blackouts today, 1/18/2012

.
You may have noticed that some webpages (including Wikipedia, above) have displayed banners or gone dark today to protest two pieces of legislation before the House and Senate, SOPA, the Stop Online Privacy Act, and Pipa, the Protect Intellectual Property Act. For more information about these bills and the protests happening online today, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has gathered information on their website, and Wikipedia has a statement, here.
Having trouble getting your research started without Wikipedia? You can wait until tomorrow, but you can also stop by the library where reference librarians are available to help connect you with the information you need!
