Description

With my final research assignment in an Introduction to Library and Information Science, I will “demonstrate an understanding of the philosophies, practices, and theories of library and information science that incorporates an awareness of the legacies, values, and ethical responsibilities of libraries and the information professions.” The premise of this paper is a discussion on censorship and intellectual freedom issues that continue to challenge the public library to this day. By providing a context on censorship, I will be able to examine what the most significant aspects of the issues are as it relates to professional practice, thus identifying a range of possible responses and solutions. Finally, through evaluation and analysis, I will establish a set of recommendations and solutions, which I would fully advocate.
