*         supporting libraries that receive a challenge to their materials
*         providing information on IF issues through listserv communication, social media, web tool kits, and other resources
*         providing a searchable database of news reports related to intellectual freedom issues in Oregon
*         honoring intellectual freedom champions
*         working with the Library Development and Legislation Committee and the OLA Board on topical issues that arise, such as net neutrality
Members are asked to serve at least two years. The IFC meets approximately six times a year, plus a short meeting at the OLA annual conference. Committee members participate remotely, either via Zoom or conference call.  Applicants must be available to attend Friday 9:30 - 11:30 meetings.
