Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom
Welcome to the Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom online, the only journal that reports attempts to remove materials from school and library shelves across the country. The NIF is the source for the latest information on intellectual freedom issues. Published bi-monthly by the Intellectual Freedom Committee of the American Library Association, each issue (Jan., March, May, July, Sept., Nov.) includes:
- “Censorship Dateline”: provides a state-by-state survey of challenges, bannings, and burnings
- “From the Bench” and “Is It Legal?”: list important developments in federal and state laws affecting librarians, teachers, students, authors, journalists, and artists.
- The “Intellectual Freedom Bibliography”: a guide to current articles and books, from all points of view, on freedom of expression in America.
The online version is available at www.ala.org/nif. The NIF home page contains information on accessing the Newsletter, and links to technical support, an online subscription form, and the Office for Intellectual Freedom.
