Ensuring Access Intellectual Freedom Training session was held 04/10/06. This was a training session for current Librarians and Library Technical Assistants of Tucson-Pima Public Library.

Illinois I gave a program to the Adult Services Forum (ten people) in our system on confidentiality on May 11 and to a group of 15 public library directors on DOPA on September 15. The state wide programs we are giving are scheduled for March 9, 22, 29, April 12, May 1, 10, and 17 at various systems around our state. These programs will be given by pairs of Intellectual Freedom Committee members and will focus on Defending Access with Confidence by Catherine Lord. We are training the trainers for these programs on November 28 in Champaign. These were in the planning stages last April so we are proceeding with them. I will submit a program for ILA for next year on two or three topics in Intellectual Freedom and focus on whatever I can cover in 1.5 hours. We had a pre-conference to ILA planned for this October but when only 7 signed up, it was cancelled. After the Defending Access programs are done, we will talk about what else we want to do. This is the biggest intellectual freedom project our state has ever initiated so all of my energy is going to it right now.
