Partially envisioned as a response to the recent increase in book bans, The Intellectual Freedom Syllabus, which began as a capstone project completed during the 2022 ALA Emerging Leaders Program, offers a comprehensive overview of resources related to intellectual freedom and censorship. In this ShopTalk, presenters will guide participants through the Syllabus, paying particular attention to the ways in which the information the Syllabus has collected can be used in a wide variety of libraries--academic, special, public--in order to address a whole host of book challenge scenarios.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the various intellectual freedom resources available in their specific institutional setting (e.g., academic library, public library, etc).
Describe the various intellectual freedom resources available to professionals in other areas of librarianship.
Teach others about important intellectual freedom resources.
