AB: This manual discusses the issue of intellectual freedom as it pertains
to library policy and practice and offers guidelines for ensuring the right
to read. It is intended for the public librarian or school library media
specialist who needs to develop new policies or update existing policies.
The book is divided into 10 chapters. Chapter 1 looks at the role that
libraries play in helping to ensure the First Amendment's guarantee of
freedom of speech. Chapter 2 examines the kinds of policies libraries
normally adopt and explores the relationship between policy and procedure.
Chapters 3 and 4 discuss considerations specific to public libraries and
school libraries. Chapter 5 focuses on Internet access and protecting
intellectual freedom. Chapter 6 describes the reconsideration process and
policy and chapter 7 presents a case study of a reconsideration situation
involving the book, "Daddy's Roommate," in a Juneau (Alaska) School
District. Chapter 8 discusses how to approach censorship challenges and
chapter 9 focuses on trends and issues in intellectual freedom. Chapter 10
takes all the individual issues that must be assembled in protecting the
right to read and highlights two specific library settings. Appendices
provide interpretations of the Library Bill of Rights and Associated
Guidelines, documents from the case study involving "Daddy's Roommate," and
sample policies and statements form other organizations. (Contains 106
references and 11 figures.) (AEF)
