Abstract | Explains libraries' roles in protecting intellectual freedom. Outlines these faulty impressions: librarians endorse the content of their collections; "everyone" agrees on controversial material; representation of all viewpoints means equal numbers; and denial of reconsideration requests indicates librarians don't take challenges seriously. Discusses legal issues that underlie library policies. Includes a sidebar by Barbara Jones on academic aspects of intellectual freedom. (AEF) |
