[Libs-Or] Seeking Library Community Feedback: Challenged Resources Interpretation

[ALA Chapter Councilor]

>From Julia Warga, Chair of the Intellectual Freedom Committee:


This is the third request for feedback from the ALA Intellectual Freedom
Committee (IFC). In anticipation of a new edition of *The Intellectual
Freedom Manual*, the IFC is in the process of updating intellectual
freedom-related documents.

The IFC would appreciate feedback on “Challenged Resources: An
Interpretation of the Library Bill of Rights
<http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/interpretations/challenged-resources>”
by *Monday, January 7*. The interpretation was adopted by ALA Council in
1971, and amended in 1981, 1990, 2009, and 2014. Please feel free to share
this message widely.

Feedback can be posted in the following two ways:



   - Post feedback on this Google Doc draft
   <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IEP5AmxYehnhsT9md7Nc69a3CnlDMXfJn5Ls0ZDAwFI/edit?usp=sharing>.
   The IFC requests that you post comments on the document, rather than edit
   the document directly. To post a comment, select "Insert" in the top menu,
   and then click "Comment." Comments may be posted anonymously (if you're not
   signed into a Google account) or publicly (if you're signed into your
   Google account).
   - Using "track changes," add comments and edits to the attached Word doc
   draft. You can email it to me (glynnj at kenyon.edu) or post it as a
   comment to this ALA Connect post
   <https://connect.ala.org/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=f4ead1ff-a938-4540-b309-54bc23cf0dde&CommunityKey=927d02c1-673b-4e91-9911-8fdf8dc3407f&tab=digestviewer#bmf4ead1ff-a938-4540-b309-54bc23cf0dde>,
   and I'll forward it to working group members.



*A note about paragraph four of the draft*: This quote is from the
current “Diversity
in Collection Development
<http://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/librarybill/interpretations/diversitycollection>”
interpretation, last amended in 2014. It does not reflect the revisions
proposed in the interpretation draft
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tDBqRwHl1gIL74awWl-TutVsr_z9_JSS1k-jF8DgevU/edit?usp=sharing>
 that was sent to the library community. The quoted material in “Challenged
Resources” may be altered if the revisions for “Diversity in Collection
Development” are adopted.


The Intellectual Freedom Committee will make revisions to the draft in
light of your suggestions and plans to distribute the document to ALA
Council prior to the Midwinter Meeting in Seattle. The committee also plans
to present it at ALA Council Forum for further feedback.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions, and please let me know if you
have any questions,


Julia Warga, Chair
Intellectual Freedom Committee
