He finds that public library administrators are too often applying self-censorship and emulating corporate models in pursuit of faddish trends such as extensive digitization and e-resources while cutting back or eliminating government documents and performing mindless weeding -- all at the expense of providing access to more traditional print and audiovisual materials as well as alternative press publications that present widely divergent points of view. He urges library users and frontline staff to resist these trends by recommending non-mainstream materials in all formats that they are interested in finding in their libraries. Also addressed is the potential negative impact of the USA Patriot Act on libraries and bookstores. 600 10 $a Berman, Sanford, $d 1933- $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Librarians $z United States $v Interviews. 650 0 $a Libraries $x Censorship $z United States. 650 0 $a Public services (Libraries) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85076635 650 0 $a Public libraries $x Administration. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85108705 650 0 $a Public libraries $x Book selection. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh96011670 610 10 $a United States. $t Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2002012008 700 1 $a Berman, Sanford, $d 1933- $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80107118 700 1 $a Lohman, Scott. 710 2 $a Humanists of Minnesota. 941 $a 1 945 $a vhs 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180109023946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AD876FAF50B11E7A6193F6E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
