Program: Hooray for Freedom!

Hooray for Freedom! Facilitator: Hope Decker

Privacy, confidentiality and intellectual freedom are core values of librarianship that are easy to agree with but difficult to implement.
Hooray for Freedom will help you assess your library’s Privacy policies and procedures, give you the legal, ethical, and historical context to
support democracy in your libraries, and tools to support implementation.
