Re: Library bias

I may have worded it badly. I think what I was trying to get across is that a single librarian in a large library would not be able to censor the collection on his or her own. Now, if you live in a small town with just one librarian...

The only thing that prevents this kind of behavior is the professional standards of the people who do the selecting, as no law governs the process.

Thank God. The last thing we need is legal "affirmative action" for book collections.

The standards have been formalized... by the ALA. Those standards would be the organization's agenda.

These can be found here, if anyone is interested.
