contents Manual on Intellectual Freedom. Censorship Documentation Freedom of Speech Guides Libraries Library Acquisition Library Material Selection Moral Issues Records (Forms) School Libraries Prepared by the Alabama Intellectual Freedom Committee, this practical handbook explores the concerns of librarians, especially school librarians, in the area of intellectual freedom. Included is the Library Bill of Rights, followed by an interpretation which suggests procedures for effective preparation for and confrontation with "censors." In addition, the ALA presents a statement of selection/acquisition policies. Appendix A contains a statement on the freedom to read and a reprint of the School Library Bill of Rights. Further interpretations of the Library Bill of Rights discuss restricted access to library materials, sexism, racism, labeling, and confidentiality of library records. The report concludes with two recommended forms: a librarian's report to the intellectual freedom committee, and a citizen's request for reconsideration of library material. (SW)
