Paperback. Condition: New. Between 1967 and 1974, a number of librarians came together to push for change in the American Library Association. They soon prompted a majority of the profession to examine their role in the dissemination and preservation of culture and to ask basic questions about the terrain that the profession defends. A particular concern was the limitations to intellectual freedom (if any) that might arise in the pursuit of other perhaps equally worthy goals. The questions raised by this advocacy group were based on a relatively new concept of librarianly social responsibility that was partly an outgrowth of the civil rights and antiwar agitation of the period and partly a continuation of the proud traditions of the alternative press movement in the United States. The resulting dissension and turmoil exposed an inherent discrepancy not only between the rhetoric of ideals within the profession and the reality of practice but between librarians as agents of change--librarians' having a social agenda--and professional "neutrality" or the provision of information for all sides without taking sides. These conflicts have never been resolved. The reader will find in this book a fully researched presentation of the years of ferment and political infighting that brought the issues into such sharp focus.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este libro recoge, por un lado, voces urgentes de la biblioteconomía que llaman la atención a nivel local, nacional y transnacional para intervenir en los conflictos surgidos cuando no son respetados los derechos humanos, cuando se lucha por el reconocimiento y la representación o cuando existe exclusión social; y por otro, el papel desempeñado por las bibliotecas como institución en todos esos casos. Esas voces colocan al trabajo biblioteconómico dentro de los movimientos sociales y el discurso global sobre los derechos humanos, y muestran a los bibliotecarios como actores políticos, presentando nuevas posibilidades y estrategias de resistencia y desafiando a las redes de control. El libro se concentra en aspectos prácticos, críticos y emancipatorios, siendo la acción social su patrón fundamental. Ha sido pensado como un reto directo a la idea de neutralidad bibliotecaria, sobre todo en la presente situación de guerra, revolución y cambio social. Las estrategias para el cambio social recogidas en el texto fueron seleccionadas por su relación con aquellos elementos de la declaración universal de los derechos humanos (1948) que se refieren particularmente a valores fundamentales de la biblioteconomía, la ética de la información y la justicia informativa global. El corazón de este libro se hace eco de Mahatma Gandhi («la acción muestra las prioridades»), y por ello cada situación aparece contextualizada en la práctica crítica. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
