ABSTRACT

What are we librarians to do about intellectual freedom? The following pages outline ways in which our profession worldwide might think about and deal with this complex, fascinating, and uniquely difficult topic. First, the issues are identified. Then, techniques employed at the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs are presented to help librarians from different countries understand the issues and come to grips with them. Finally, I make some personal recommendations for librarians in any country who are ready to be active supporters and proponents of intellectual freedom efforts in their communities.
