- Libraries: A Misunderstood American Value. Pinnell-Stephens, June Access to Information Censorship Information Policy Intellectual Freedom Legal Responsibility Librarian Attitudes Library Collections Library Policy Library Role Library Services 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)
