The challenges and calls for censorship are no longer only from library patrons, but now include national organizations and even local and state legislators.

Due to this new climate, it is important to examine the effect these culture wars have on library collection development decisions. This quantitative study seeks to answer that question with a nationwide survey of library professionals.
