- School Librarians and the Intellectual Freedom Manual Garnar, Martin Lechtenberg, Kate Vibbert, Carolyn School Libraries Librarians Intellectual Freedom Guides Copyrights Censorship Educational Resources Librarian Teacher Cooperation In 2020 the tenth edition of the "Intellectual Freedom Manual" will be published by American Library Association (ALA) Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF). As with each new edition, this one includes guidance on the latest issues, the newest policy statements related to intellectual freedom (IF), and the core documents that outline the library profession's commitment to free expression, free access to information, privacy, and other intellectual freedom principles. In this article Martin Garnar, editor of the tenth edition, talks with Kate Lechtenberg, a school library educator and former school librarian, and Carolyn Vibbert, an elementary school librarian, about what's new in the "Intellectual Freedom Manual" and how intellectual freedom connects with AASL's "National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries." Changes to the manual include new interpretations of the "Library Bill of Rights" approved by the ALA Council since the last edition, information about when to call the police, an essay about censorship beyond books (e.g., programs, displays, databases, etc.), expanded content about developing library policies that support intellectual freedom, and an expanded "Glossary of Terms."
