Libraries Support Intellectual Freedom

As part of our celebration of #NationalLibraryWeek, we’re doing a series on what libraries actually DO to help build strong communities. Check back throughout the week for more!

Intellectual freedom allows people access the information they need without restrictions and with an expectation of privacy. These are important values at Loyola, as they are at all libraries.

PRIVACY

The Loyola Libraries privacy policy describes all the types of data we need to collect about our users, why, and how we manage it. It is extremely important to us that we maintain your privacy to read or consult what you want, whether in print or online, without anyone else knowing about it.

eCOMMONS

Ensuring wide access to scholarship is another way Loyola supports intellectual freedom. Not everyone has a research library at their service, and by making work open access in eCommons, we spread the wealth. Open access means that the work is free for anyone to download, read, and cite. Open access scholarship from Loyola includes articles, books, dissertations, datasets, and conference presentations. The chart illustrates the global impact this work has, with a significant amount of access coming from regions such as southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and India. We hear directly from users in these regions who tell us how useful the work we make open is for them.
