Reviews
What is intellectual freedom? How should librarians handle access to information involving young adults? What do you do when library materials are challenged? Does intellectual freedom include Internet access and materials? These are just a few of the questions and scenarios that are clearly and concisely addressed within this incredibly useful publication. Professional librarians, educators, library staff, and anyone who works with the young adult community will benefit from the information presented here. The editors have organized the content in a manner that makes it accessible and useful for those new to the profession as well as "old hats." VERDICT An excellent addition to any professional collection and a must-read for those new to librarianship.—Elizabeth Speer, Cisco College, TX
