Welcome. This is the wiki for ALSC's Intellectual Freedom Committee. Our function statement is

To serve as a liaison between the division and the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee and all other groups within the association concerned with intellectual freedom. To advise the division on matters before the Office for Intellectual Freedom and their implication for library service to children and to make recommendations to the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee for changes in policies involving library service to children; to promote in-service and continuing education programs in the area of intellectual freedom for those who select library material for children.

Established: July, 1974 Chair + 6 members Term: Spring, 2 year. Note: Chair also serves as a representative to the ALA Freedom to Read Foundation



Networking with other IFCs across ALA

ALSC/IFCs charge is to network with its counterpart IFCs across other divisions. There are a number of meetings that should be attended, if possible. Since no one member can make them all, I strongly recommend that they be divvied up.

Freedom to Read Foundation

The ALSC/IFC chair is the representative to ALA's Freedom to Read Foundation all-day meeting before ALA Midwinter and ALA Annual; however, if s/he can't make it, check with another committee member who can attend in your stead. Be sure to alert the ALA/IFC Office who that person will be. At ALA Annual this all day meeting is held on the Thursday before the Conference. At ALA Midwinter it is held on the Friday before the Conference.

ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee Business meetings

A number of these are held throughout ALA Midwinter and ALA Annual. Alert your committee as to when/where they are happening and encourage a member to attend if possible.

Joint IFC/IFRT/Divisional IFCs Meeting

At both Annual and Midwinter, this takes place from 10:30AM-11:30AM on Sunday when our own ALSC/IFC working meeting is occurring during the All ALSC Committee time. It is worth taking care of your own committee business from 8AM-10AM and then reconvening your committee at the location of the Joint IFC/IFRT/Divisional IFC Meeting. This joint committee can provide real insight into the workings of related IFC committees and roundtable across ALA. You get the opportunity to tell about the ongoing work of your committee.

Meetings among the IFCs of the three Youth Divisions

AASL, ALSC, and YALSA each take a yearly turn to call for a small meeting among their three IFC committees. In 2007 it was ALSC's turn. The three chairs along with a few members from each committee met to talk about our work, to share program information and other insights. At Midwinter 07 this meeting was listed in the Program Guide and held in a hotel meeting room. What we plan to do at the Annual 2007 meeting is to arrange a dinner out to chat about our work instead.

ALSC/IFC's Publications

Kids, Know Your Rights! This full-color, downloadable brochure was uploaded to www.ala.org/ala/alscpubs/publications.htm in June, 2007. Every couple of years, it should be looked at by the committee which may wish to make changes. Please direct all queries to Diane Foote at the ALSC Office, as the office keeps the .pdf copy on file.
