It explores the relationship of ALA's response to events threatening intellectual freedom to the development of the assumption of intellectual freedom as a basic tenet of librarianship as a profession. The study's purpose is to identify events which posed threats to intellectual freedom; to trace ALA's response to those threats; to gauge, by members' response to ALA actions, the degree to which the actions were accepted as articulating a professional ideology; add to analyze the extent to which, by 1969, intellectual freedom had become an integral part of the ideology of professional librarianship. |
