Survey of Intellectual Freedom Procedures in the United States, U.S. Territories, and Tribal Nations
The American Library Association has long hosted a form for librarians to share challenges to library materials for the purposes of providing support and gathering data. In the face of increasing challenges to library materials, some states have also developed local procedures for gathering information and providing local support. These efforts are not consistent across states, however, and some states do not share any information on their processes publicly. In 2023, the presenters distributed a survey to gather information from states, territories, and tribal nations that do not publicly share their procedures in order to document efforts. This presentation will share the preliminary survey results, along with lessons learned and areas for future research.
