Intellectual freedom is one of our bedrock values, and as the intellectual freedom issues and challenges libraries face are always evolving, so must the profession’s response. The eighth edition of the Intellectual Freedom Manual offers, among other updated material, three “new Interpretations” of the Library Bill of Rights; 10 revised Interpretations; resolutions on the retention of circulation and other records and free expression in the workplace; and privacy and confidentiality guidelines related to RFID. An essential tool.

Indexed. 439p. PBK $65 (978-0-8389-3590-3)

The second edition of Web-Based Instruction: A Guide for Libraries was published just four years ago, but changes in the technology landscape have prompted author Susan Sharpless Smith to write a third. Web 2.0 has been incorporated into many of the chapters, and each chapter has been updated to include new technologies and ideas. In addition, the book has a website at www.ala.org/editions/extras/smith10566.
