| Abstrakt: |
Daily, in more than 36,000 school and public libraries in the U.S., librarians go about the slow and often arduous task of building library collections. The principles by which they work are summed up in the Library Bill of Rights. For these principles give rise to problems of considerable magnitude. In a climate where fears, pressures and tensions often dominate, and where the urge to conformity is everywhere evident, the risk of a librarian's being damned if he does and damned if he doesn't is very real. |
