Libraries have always been frontline defenders of intellectual freedom-and the modern world offers libraries new opportunities in this area as well as new challenges. Because library science schools shape the libraries of the future, they must prepare their students to confront various aspects of intellectual freedom, including censorship (both overt and hidden), freedom of access for all patrons, and the intersection between new technology and intellectual freedom issues. This compendium volume includes articles on each of these topics, all written by experienced librarians.
