To censor or not to censor...

The purpose of this blog is to satisfy a requirement for a master's level graduate class on information organization and retrieval. This blog will give me space in which to explore technologies associated with information, information systems, information storage and information retrieval.

The topic of this blog is censorship and its place in libraries. Should libraries act as censors? Who (if anyone) should decide censorship guidelines? Who (if anyone) should enforce them, and how? These are questions I hope to explore throughout the semester. I am primarily interested in censorship issues in public libraries, although I hope to explore censorship issues dealt with in school libraries as well.
