Re: Shogun and censorship

[Mary Ellen Scribner <scribner@TENET.EDU>]

At a time when book challenges and other attempts at censorship are at an
all time high, I am appalled that librarians would even consider their
own peculiar efforts to censor a book, a video, a work of art, or any
other form of creative effort or product. If only a portion of a work is
relevant, then permission to use that portion should be secured from the
copyright holder.  If the whole work is relevant with the exception of a
small part that someone considers offensive, releases or letters of
permission should be secured--or another media item should be located
which suits everyone.
