From Sea To Shining Sea: A Survey Of Intellectual Freedom Practices In The United States, Amanda K. Izenstark, Jo Knapp, David Bernardo

Public Services Faculty Presentations

The American Library Association provides a form for librarians to share challenges to library materials for the purposes of gathering data and providing support. In the face of increasing challenges to library materials, some states have also developed local procedures for gathering information and providing local support. In 2023, the presenters distributed a survey to gather information from states, territories, and tribal nations that do not publicly share their procedures to document efforts. This presentation will share the preliminary survey results showing differences across entities, lessons learned, and areas for future research.
