" And on a practical note, librarians are not omniscient disseminators of facts or morality. Even if we want to hand out the correct opinions, we are ill-equipped to do so." Really? We aren't equipped to disseminate facts? That's one of our core functions, to provide accurate information and not to ...

And of course, "neutrality' won't save you when right wing politicians come for your collections, your budgets, and your staff that don't fit into the mold set for them. It won't make the right wing love you or libraries any more. Jeremy B.

As one of those "librarians who seem to be most deeply and even angrily against the very notion of neutrality" and who is apparently a "full-on monomaniac", I'd point out that the two sides are not the same. We anti-neutrality librarians would rather not support - be it through taxpayer dollars, the ...

Tell me how we "neutrally" serve hateful people who believe this kind of garbage. https://bookriot.com/heather-scott-book-ban-plans/amp/#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16520464580052&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com Jeremy B.

My two cents? Library "neutrality" is a falsehood, a farce, and an outdated mode of thinking that by default serves primarily and gives inordinate influence to groups in power. This entire essay is nonsense, and I'll bet any amount of money you care to name that not a single writer of this letter is ...

A misguided and wrongheaded editorial in the NY Times is hardly news, especially one that completely misunderstands its subject and takes potshots at the left. :)

"The American far left's defense of Putin"? I would appreciate citations for this claim, since all I see is solid, bootlicking support for Putin from the American right wing. Thanks,   Jeremy Brett ------------------------------ Jeremy Brett Processing Archivist and Curator, Science Fiction ...

Hi! Oops, this is what happens when one looks at the agenda AFTER the meeting is adjourned. :) I see that the agenda called for us to take up my suggestion from some months ago about Reading in Prisons as a possible line of IFRT inquiry. But we adjourned without considering any other business. I still ...

Hi, Athina! I think we'd all benefit from periodic updates on new and upcoming works, and reviews as people feel the urge to submit them. I'd also be interested in discussions on Connect or elsewhere. I'm sure we all have thoughts. :) Generally speaking, it would also be cool, I think, to investigate ...
