[OLA-IF-News] Looking for ideas for speakers on intellectual freedom

[Steve Silver]

Does ACRL, ALA’s Intellectual Freedom Committee, or the Right to Read Foundation have speaker resources? Sometimes national associations can send someone for minimal cost to the hosting organization.

Hi Clare!

In terms of sources for possible speakers, the ACLU of Oregon<https://aclu-or.org/> is the first organization that comes to mind for me. Another local group that might have ideas for speakers around your topic is the Oregon Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts<https://www.oregonvla.org/>.

The National Coalition Against Censorship is a national organization which does lots of work opposing censorship of all types, including visual art. They've got a webpage about current visual art censorship issues<http://ncac.org/issue/visual-art>, and another page with resources "For Artists, Art Administrators and Curators<http://ncac.org/resource/guidelines-for-state-arts-agencies-museums-university-galleries-and-performance-spaces>" that look like they might be applicable to any organization hosting public art.

Does anyone else have ideas about possible speakers related to hosting contentious material in public spaces?

Hello,
The Linn-Benton Community College Library is considering doing programming related to intellectual freedom. This school year the college has been grappling with how to host contentious material in public spaces, especially art that some find obscene. The library would like to be part of the campus-wide discussion, so we're looking for leads to possible speakers for the library. They don't need to address how intellectual freedom relates to libraries or art specifically. We'd appreciate any ideas you have.

Thank you!
-Clare
