In this free one-hour webinar, Shannon Oltmann lasy out a framework for understanding and practicing intellectual freedom as a librarian.
Intellectual freedom is central to librarianship in the United States. It's essential to freedom of speech and how that freedom plays out in local communities. It's something we need to consider as we make decisions about everyday things like internet filtering, collection development and weeding, meeting rooms and exhibit spaces, programming, and as we address fake news and misinformation.
This webinar will be helpful for a wide range of people. For new librarians, it offers a solid introduction to intellectual freedom. For more experienced scholars and librarians, it will reference new research and offer unique analysis of the subject.
