Intellectual Freedom Videos Available

Now that Banned Books Week is over for this year, it is important to recall that preserving Intellectual Freedom isn’t a once-a-year activity, and that there are other threats to IF in addition to attempts to ban books. The Office of Intellectual Freedom has posted four videos focused on Intellectual Freedom issues from sessions held at the 2009 Annual Conference. The sessions were entitled:

- “My, those novels certainly are… graphic!”

- “Privacy in an Era of Change”

- “Libraries, Librarians, and America’s War on Sex”

- “Intellectual Freedom on the Front Lines”

To find out more about these sessions or to view the videos online, go to http://www.oif.ala.org/oif/?p=552
