SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

last person joined: 2 days ago 

The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

    This reminds me of the controversy around the Enola Gay exhibition at the Smithsonian. See Elaine Harger's article in Progressive Librarian, issue 10-1, Winter 1995/96. http://www.progressivelibrariansguild.org/PL_Jnl/contents10_11.shtml

    It is a very sad day for the Smithsonian and all our public cultural institutions.
