Praxishandbuch Medien an den Rändern : Umgang mit umstrittenen Werken in Bibliotheken

Abstract

Libraries are caught in an ethical balancing act with their acquisition decisions: on the one hand, they must uphold freedom of expression and information, and use their collections to reflect the plurality of society. On the other, they are only supposed to offer vetted, ideologically acceptable content. Alongside a theoretical framework, the practical examples in this volume demonstrate paths to developing one’s own position.
