Gunmen were killing people at Parisian cafes, restaurants, and a concert. Over 130 people died, with many more injured (Steafel). In the aftermath, one can’t help but wonder: why? When ISIS, a Middle-Eastern terrorist group took credit for the massacre, many adults no doubt remember an equally horrifying act of terrorism, 9/11. This bibliography plan is about terrorism, with the sub-topics “ISIS and the Paris Attacks” and “Al-Quaeda and 9/11”. These two sub-topic are major acts of terrorism, and thus go hand-in-hand with the main topic. They are also related to each other, since ISIS is a group that splintered off from Al-Quaeda (Laub). Most of the databases explored in this bibliography plan are general and fact-based, rather than analytical. This allows for researchers to get an idea of what is going on in the world so that they can form their own opinions on this issue and the responses to it. Some databases that will be explored in this bibliography plan are Academic Search Complete,CQ Researcher, TOPICsearch, and U.S. History in Context. Useful references sources to look through before reading this bibliography plan would include the Encyclopedia Britannica: High school edition, or the Encyclopedia of Terrorism by Cindy Combs. Audience The intended audience for this bibliography plan is teenagers, especially those in high school or just starting college. I chose that particular demographic because my 14-year-old sister is getting increasingly concerned about what is happening in the world. This is a bibliography plan for teens like her who want to learn more about what ISIS is, how it started, why they are attacking people, and what this has to do with Al-Quaeda and 9/11. The library I chose is the Hawaii State Public Library System, because this is the one most accessible to teens besides their school library. Citation Style For this bibliography plan I chose to cite in the style of the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, Seventh Edition (MLA). 3 Mary Campany LIS 601/Irvin Search Strategy Call Numbers: Dewey Decimal System: 303.625 (Terrorism) Library of Congress System: HV6430- 6433 (Terrorism) Subject Headings • TERROR ATTACKS • TERRORISM – MIDDLE EAST • WAR ON TERRORISM, 2001- • TERRORISM—MIDDLE EAST- • SEPTEMBER 11 TERRORIST - JUVENILE ATTACKS, 2001 • QUAIDA (ORGANIZATION) • TERRORISM • ISLAMIC STATE • TERRORISM— (ORGANIZATION).

Boolean operators like AND, OR, and NOT, will also be written entirely in capital letters. Search Process: OPAC HSPLS OPAC: In the Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) Online Catalog I used natural language search terms in General Keyword searches and controlled vocabulary in Subject Browse searches. I chose this OPAC because it belongs to the local public library system, and therefore it’s the one that teenagers are most likely to use, besides their school library’s OPAC. I expected to find several non-fiction books for teens, but instead found that many of the books are almost ten years old and if the researcher wants any information at all on ISIS then they must head to the adult section. This may not be an issue for older teens, but understanding the content may prove to be difficult for those transitioning from middle school to high school. While searching, it would be best to use general key terms narrowed down with Boolean expressions, rather than specific ones. Natural language searches with the names of specific terrorist organizations such as ISIS, Al-Quaeda, and Boko Haram, all led to either a few slightly related results or, in the case of ISIS, an overwhelming number of results that were completely unrelated to terrorism. One successful Boolean expression was Terrorism AND Middle East NOT fiction. The last term, NOT fiction, removed novels about fictional terrorist attacks. In this case, controlled vocabulary worked far better to get specific results. The subject heading TERRORISM—MIDDLE EAST got 17 highly relevant results, while the subject heading TERRORISM—MIDDLE EAST—JUVENILE got 2 highly relevant results. While the latter search was highly relevant, it wasn’t as useful as the items in the first search because both items in that category were printed in the mid-2000’s, before ISIS rose to power. Items that aren’t cataloged as juvenile are more up-to-date, with several books that had been printed in 2014-2015. However, one book that is highly useful within the juvenile category is Arie Perliger’s Middle Eastern Terrorism, which gives the history of terrorism and unrest in the Middle East, providing insight on the region’s politics. Perliger, Arie. Middle Eastern Terrorism. New York: Chelsea House, 2006. Print. Roots of Terrorism. [303.62509 Pe] WorldCat I selected this source because it is an OPAC that allows one to view all the books in the world. While some of these items may not be available at the researcher’s library of choice, books and other materials can always be ordered through interlibrary loan. I expected to 5 Mary Campany LIS 601/Irvin find a lot of items while searching, and while I found more items there than what was available through the Hawaii State Public Library System, I also got more unrelated results. As I searched I confirmed my suspicion that here, just as in the HSPLS OPAC, it was easier to search with controlled vocabulary than natural language. For example, using keyword searches, such as Islamic State AND Terrorism, would often come up with several slightly related results, while the results of controlled vocabulary searches, such as TERRORISM – MIDDLE EAST, would result in fewer, more useful results. It’s especially useful to utilize the advanced search because it allows the researcher to put limiters based on audience, content, and format on their searches before searching. A useful item found while searching this OPAC with the “Juvenile” and “Non-fiction” filters on was the book “I am Malala”, a biography of Malala Yousafzai. It’s a fairly famous book that I didn’t think was intended for juvenile audiences, so I was surprised to see it in the search results. This book would be useful to a teen researcher because it shows the life of someone who lived within a terrorist group’s area of influence, and would be a way for teens to see this issue in the context of their own lives. Yousafzai, Malala, and Patricia McCormick. I Am Malala: How One Girl Stood up for Education and Changed the World. New York: Little, 2014. Print. Databases Academic Search Complete I chose this resource because it’s a well-known general database for scholarly material. The material within this database might be a bit much for a younger teen, but would work well for an older teen since it includes articles from more easily accessible periodicals like Time. I expected to find a variety of scholarly articles but found that a surprisingly large amount of non-academic periodicals were shown first, meaning that they were most relevant according to the database’s internal search function. What I feel that researchers would find most convenient about this database is its auto-fill feature where, much like Google and Yahoo!, the search bar will come up with suggestions for possible searches based on what is being typed. This allows for more ideas for search terms, such as Al-Quaeda AND ISIS, rather than ISIS or Al-quaeda by themselves. Sadly, when searching with subject headings the function will suggest search terms that aren’t necessarily controlled subject headings, leading to searches that won’t bring up any results because the searcher is unintentionally using natural language search strings instead of controlled vocabulary. Finally, since it’s such a large database the amount of results that come up may be a bit overwhelming, but thankfully searches are easily customizable with the limiter options in the left column.

Nearly 3,000 people, representing 90 different countries, lost their lives that day. These victims were business men and women, vacation-goers, and loved ones heading from the east coast to California to visit friends and family. What started out as a beautiful Fall day on the east coast in the United States with thousands of commuters heading to work and going about their everyday lives, ended in tragedy and sorrow, leaving behind a permanent scar that would change all our lives forever. The events of 9/11 affected our entire country on a grand scale both economically and culturally. But Massachusetts was a part of this day, from the attacks to the impact.

  • The Four Flights
    The Four Flights Staff Statement No. 4 Members of the Commission, this statement continues our presentation of initial findings on how the individuals who carried out the 9/11 attacks defeated the civil aviation security system of the United States. We continue our investigation into the status of civil aviation security today and for the future. These findings and judgments may help your conduct of today’s public hearing and will inform the development of your recommendations. The findings and judgments we report today are the results of our work so far. We remain ready to revise our understanding of these topics as our work continues. Our staff was able to build upon investigative work that had been conducted by various agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration is fully cooperating with our investigators, as are the relevant airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration. We spoke earlier today about how the hijackers defeated all of the pre-boarding defense layers the U.S. civil aviation security system mounted on September 11, 2001. We will return now to the last line of defense, the Common Strategy in response to hijackings, as implemented onboard the aircraft by the flight crew. Common Strategy The anti-hijacking training for civil aviation aircraft crews in place on 9/11 was based on previous experiences with domestic and international hijacking and other hostage situations. It was aimed at getting passengers, crew, and hijackers safely landed. It offered little guidance for confronting a suicide hijacking. Air carrier responsibilities for security and anti-hijacking training for flight crews were set forth in the Air Carrier Standard Security Program.

  • The Spectral Voice and 9/11
    SILENCIO: THE SPECTRAL VOICE AND 9/11 Lloyd Isaac Vayo A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Eileen C. Cherry Chandler Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Don McQuarie © 2010 Lloyd Isaac Vayo All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor “Silencio: The Spectral Voice and 9/11” intervenes in predominantly visual discourses of 9/11 to assert the essential nature of sound, particularly the recorded voices of the hijackers, to narratives of the event. The dissertation traces a personal journey through a selection of objects in an effort to seek a truth of the event. This truth challenges accepted narrativity, in which the U.S. is an innocent victim and the hijackers are pure evil, with extra-accepted narrativity, where the additional import of the hijacker’s voices expand and complicate existing accounts. In the first section, a trajectory is drawn from the visual to the aural, from the whole to the fragmentary, and from the professional to the amateur. The section starts with films focused on United Airlines Flight 93, The Flight That Fought Back, Flight 93, and United 93, continuing to a broader documentary about 9/11 and its context, National Geographic: Inside 9/11, and concluding with a look at two YouTube shorts portraying carjackings, “The Long Afternoon” and “Demon Ride.” Though the films and the documentary attempt to reattach the acousmatic hijacker voice to a visual referent as a means of stabilizing its meaning, that voice is not so easily fixed, and instead gains force with each iteration, exceeding the event and coming from the past to inhabit everyday scenarios like the carjackings.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kate D’Esmond (212) 207-7362 / [email protected] “The horror and heroism of 9/11 are brought to life in this panoramic history. ... The result is a superb, harrowing retelling of this most dramatic of stories.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review “A meticulously delineated, detailed, graphic history of the events of 9/11 in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania. ... Despite the story’s sprawling cast, which could have sabotaged a book by a less-skilled author, Zuckoff ably handles all of the complexities. ... [A]s contemporary history, Fall and Rise is a clear and moving success.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review FALL AND RISE: The Story of 9/11 by Mitchell Zuckoff #1 New York Times bestselling author Harper • on sale April 30, 2019 On the morning of September 11, 2001, bestselling author and journalist Mitchell Zuckoff was on book leave from the Boston Globe when his editor called: airplanes had struck the Twin Towers of New York’s World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack. Both planes that hit the towers had taken off from Boston’s Logan Airport. Zuckoff rushed to the newsroom. He wrote the lead story that appeared on Page One of the Globe the next day (see below), and for months after, Zuckoff wrote about the attacks, the perpetrators, the victims, and their families. So began an abiding commitment to the true story of that day, culminating here in FALL AND RISE: The Story of 9/11 (Harper; on sale April 30, 2019; $29.99).
