Introduction
As institutions dedicated to upholding the principles of intellectual freedom, it is inevitable that Iowa libraries will be faced with challenges concerning materials and policies. This Resrouce Guide has been compiled to help Iowa librarians prepare for and respond to censorship challenges. It is our hope that every librarian will keep this workbook of suggestions and policy statements close at hand; that it will serve as the reference source to consult whenever any library is challenged by censorship efforts. Further detail and assistance is also available in the American Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Manual, 7th edition, 2006 Every library should have a copy of the current edition of this invaluable resource.
Associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Potter Stewart once said, "Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself" (383 U.S. Reports, p. 498.) Unfortunately, that lack of confidence continues to manifest itself in the all too frequent challenges that libraries receive concerning their collections and services.
The Intellectual Freedom Committee welcomes queries, suggestions or comments. Address them to the Iowa Library Association office at 3636 Westown Pkwy, Suite 202, West Des Moines, IA 50266, or contact the IFC chair. The 2009 chair is Michael Wright at the University of Iowa (michael-wright@uiowa.edu)

Background Reading: Relevant Amendments to the U.S. Constitution
Amendment One: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Amendment Four: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Amendment Fourteen: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of its laws.
Handling Challenges
Preparing For a Challenge
The best defense against a would-be censor is careful and complete planning before a challenge occurs. The following steps are suggestions for the planning process.
- All staff and board members should study the Library Bill of Rights. The Iowa Library Association (ILA) Intellectual Freedom Committee recommends that this document be endorsed by the library's governing authority. It has been adopted by the American Library Association (ALA) and represents that organization's viewpoint on intellectual freedom and censorship. For text of the Library Bill of Rights, see Appendix A or go to http://ala.org/ala/oif and click on Library Bill of Rights. For ALA’s interpretations of the Library Bill of Rights, see the Intellectual Freedom Manual.
- Prepare a written Materials Selection Policy. It should be adopted by the library's governing authority as basic policy for collection development, including the selection, acquisition and reconsideration of library materials. The policy statement should also include procedures for handling patron complaints about library materials. Make sure all staff and board members are familiar with the policy. (See Appendix B for sample policies)
Page 4
What To Do When A Challenge Occurs
- Follow the procedures for handling patron complaints about library materials developed in the library's Materials Selection Policy.
- Inform the library's governing authority of every challenge and subsequent actions taken by staff.
- Report all challenges to the ILA Intellectual Freedom Committee using the online Challenge Report Form (hotlink). You can complete the form and send it to the ILA office and the IFC chair as an email attachment. You can also send it via USPS or fax to the Iowa Library Association, 3636 Westown Pkwy, Suite 202, West Des Moines, IA 50266 (515) 273-5322; fax (515) 309-4576. The Intellectual Freedom Committee will, if requested, provide support within its means. (See page ____ for a description of the committee and how it operates.)
- Contact the Library Service Area, the State Library, the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom or other interested organizations, depending on the nature and urgency of the challenge. (See page 4 for contact information.)
- If the challenge becomes a public issue, seek support from the local press (both print and broadcast). Media tend to “get it” when it comes to censorship issues. Make sure to have only one official press spokesperson and route all media inquiries to that individual.
- Once the challenge has been reviewed, communicate the result of the reconsideration process to the complainant in writing, including the reasons for the decision.
- If necessary, seek legal advice through the library's governing authority.
When faced with a censorship or intellectual freedom issue of any kind, staff or trustees should feel free to contact the chair of the Iowa Library Association Intellectual Freedom Committee (IFC). The IFC can provide informal advice and consulting assistance. The chair and/or committee will try to provide a library with information that will help bring about a satisfactory resolution to the problem.
If more active assistance is requested, the Chair of the IFC will help determine appropriate areas where other assistance might be valuable. This type of assistance might include having someone from the committee speak to the library's governing authority or to the city council in order to establish the position of the library community on intellectual freedom issues.
When the ILA Intellectual Freedom Committee receives a request for assistance, it notifies the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF). In cases where a legal defense is required, or where an intellectual freedom challenge has resulted in a librarian's dismissal or other monetary loss, ALA, through the Freedom to Read Foundation, may be able to help with legal fees. ALA’s Merritt Fund may be able to provide financial support to librarians fired over intellectual freedom issues. The ALA office has wide experience and can be extremely useful. Librarians need not be ALA members to receive help from the OIF.
The Iowa Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Committee is interested in being notified about all types of challenges and complaints in order to become aware of patterns or particular items that may be targeted for removal. The committee has developed an incident form that can be quickly completed. Please remember the Challenge Report (Hotlink) form and use it to report even the smallest incident.
For a list of ILA Intellectual Freedom Committee members, see Appendix C
Other Sources for Assistance
ALA: The American Library Association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) is in Chicago. Directed by Judith F. Krug, a national leader in the effort to maintain intellectual freedom, the OIF has helped countless librarians in censorship battles.
Significant censorship activity should be reported to the OIF by email, fax, phone, or mail. OIF has an online form at http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/challengesupport/reporting/reportingchallenge.cfm (hotlink) A copy is also in the Intellectual Freedom Manual (7th ed., ALA, 2002).
The OIF can provide advice, reviews, policy statements and information on professional norms and standards, as well as statements in support of the freedom to read and First Amendment rights, but it does not usually intervene directly in local censorship cases, preferring that they be settled at the state and local levels. Excellent online resources are available at
http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/challengesupport/dealing/dealingchallenges.cfm
To contact the OIF, email oif@ala.org, call (800) 545-2433, ext. 4223, fax (312) 280-4227, or write the Office for Intellectual Freedom, American Library Association, 50 East Huron Street, Chicago, IL 60611.

Supporting Documents
Materials Selection Policy (outline)
The Iowa Library Association and its Intellectual Freedom Committee believe that every library, in order to strengthen its collection development process and to provide an objective basis for evaluation of that process, should develop a written Materials Selection Policy. The Materials Selection Policy should be based on the needs of the library's users and in conformity with the Library Bill of Rights. The policy should be approved by the library's governing authority, reviewed and, if necessary, revised regularly.
A Materials Selection Policy should cover these points:
- Library philosophy and objectives, including a statement of the role of the library in its community.
- General selection principles and procedures, including designation of staff responsible for collection development the procedures used to select the materials, and criteria used for selection.
- Special principles and procedures to deal with non-print materials for particular groups (children, the visually impaired, etc.) See the ALA Freedom to View statement (hotlink) also in the Intellectual Freedom Manual.
- Policies and procedures regarding special collections (local history, etc.)
- Policies and procedures covering public Internet use
- Policies and procedures covering filtered Internet access
- Policies and procedures regarding use of meeting rooms, bulletin boards, display cases, etc.
- Policies concerning the confidentiality of patron records
The collection development policy should also contain
• Policies and procedures covering gifts, including requests for appraisals and disposal of unwanted donations
- Page 8
- Policies and procedures concerning weeding and inventories
- The text of the Library Bill of Rights (hotlink). Many selection policies also include the FREEDOM TO READ STATEMENT (hotlink), a document issued jointly by the American Library Association and the Association of American Publishers. The Library Bill of Rights and Freedom to Read Statement are also in ALA’s Intellectual Freedom Manual.
- Complaint and reconsideration policies and procedures, including a step-by-step list of the reconsideration process and a copy of the library's reconsideration form. See sample form on page 10.
Following is a link to the Iowa City Community School District’s excellent Materials Selection Policy, which should be helpful to teacher-librarians:

Librarians who need further assistance in developing a Materials Selection Policy should consult the ALA Intellectual Freedom Manual which has a section called “Development of a Materials Selection Policy” (pp. 332-338). Public librarians may also wish to consult their LSA.

Glossary
CENSORSHIP
A change in the availability of access to materials, based on content and made by a governing body or its representatives. Such changes may include exclusion, restricted access, removal, or age/grade level changes. Materials must meet criteria stated in materials selection policies
CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
According to the courts, the work in question must involve the depiction of sexual conduct specified in the applicable statutes and use images of children below a specified age.
COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT
Selection of materials in the languages in common use in the community the library serves, carried out according to professional standards and established selection and review procedures. In the process, libraries should seek to provide materials and information representing all points of view on both current and historical issues.
COMPLAINTS
Oral or written challenges to the presence and/or appropriateness of specific material.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF LIBRARY RECORDS
ALA Policy Manual 54.15, Code of Ethics, point 3: "Librarians must protect each users right to privacy with respect to information sought or received, and materials consulted, borrowed, or acquired."
DIVERSITY
In the library context, diversity includes the provision of all points of view on all questions and issues of our times, and the availability of these ideas and opinions to anyone who needs or wants them, regardless of their age, background or views.
EXPURGATION
Includes any deletion, excision, altering, editing, or obliteration of any part(s) of books or other library resources by the library, its agent, or its parent institution (if any). In effect, denies access to the complete work and the entire spectrum of ideas that work intended to express.
FILTERING
Restricting access to Internet content, using one or more mechanisms such as an internal or external database, use of third-party ratings, scanning text or pixels, and limiting by source of
Page 15
the information.
FREE ACCESS FOR MINORS
The ALA opposes libraries restricting access to library materials and services for minors and holds that it is the parents-and only parents-who may restrict their children-and only their children-from access to library materials and services.
HARMFUL TO MINORS
According to the courts, descriptions or representations of nudity, sexual conduct, or sexual excitement that appeal to the prurient, shameful, or morbid interest of minors; are patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with respect to what is suitable material for minors; and lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.
INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM
The right of all individuals to hold any belief on any subject and to convey ideas in any form they deem appropriate; and the right of unrestricted access to information and ideas regardless of the communication medium used, the content of the work, and theviewpoints of both the author and receiver of information.
LABELING
The practice of describing or designating certain library materials, by affixing a prejudicial label to them or segregating them by a prejudicial system, so as to predispose readers against the materials.
LIBRARY BILL OF RIGHTS
The ALA's basic policy on intellectual freedom. The bill derives from a statement originally developed by Forrest Spaulding, librarian of the Des Moines Public Library. It serves as the library profession's interpretation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
OBSCENITY
According to the courts, obscenity must be determined using a three-part test. To be obscene, (1) the average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to prurient interests; (2) the work must depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct as specified in the applicable statutes; and (3) the work, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
PUBLIC FORUM
A limited or designated public forum is a place set aside by the government for expressive activity. According to the courts, public libraries are among such fora.
Page 16
RESTRICTED ACCESS
The Library Bill of Rights provides for free access to all materials for every person. Forms of restricted access include labelling, restrictive circulation, location of materials in closed or restricted collections, charging of fees, and filtering. In essence, restricted access includes any barrier between the patron and materials. Barriers may be age related, economic, linguistic, or psychological in nature

Appendix A
The Library Bill of Rights
The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide
their services.
I. Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the
community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation.
II. Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues.
Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.
III. Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment.
IV. Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas.
V. A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views.
VI. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use.
Adopted June 18, 1948.
Amended February 2, 1961; June 28, 1967; and January 23, 1980,
inclusion of “age” reaffirmed January 23, 1996,
by the ALA Council.
