Description
A practical toolkit that provides librarians with the resources they need to establish, evaluate, or revise policies and strategies to protect children's intellectual freedom rights.
This essential resource for school and public youth services librarians (practicing or in preparation), is in a workbook-style format to facilitate notetaking, completion of checklists, and other hands-on implementation of strategies to preserve, protect, and defend the rights of children. In the current climate of attacks on minors' free access to information, challenges to materials, and attempts to subvert student privacy, this resource is essential to empower librarians to act.
Dr. April M. Dawkins is an expert in legal and ethical issues in school librarianship and school library management and has worked for the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual freedom. Through the key ideas and activities in this timely resource, you'll learn to apply her theoretical and practical experience in your own library environment.
