New Books on Intellectual Freedom

Two new additions to the Nebraska Library Commission’s book collection discuss intellectual freedom in the context of school and academic libraries. Policy writing advice and tips for training new staff are included in each. Issues in collection development, Internet access, exhibit spaces, programs, rooms, privacy and confidentiality are all illustrated by the case study approach. If you have an issue you are dealing with you can use them as a reference source, but they are also entertaining for cover to cover reading. Scales, Pat R.
