Summary:
"Libraries tout themselves as bastions of democracy. They're supposed
to be accessible, egalitarian, and neutral-not peddling any one
ideology or product, not shill for any particular class or party or
world view"-from Sanford Berman's "Talking the Talk and Walking the
Walk." This highly acclaimed biennial ("the best of alternative
library journalism"-Library Journal) provides a reminder of the roots
of librarianship and a prod to a profession that has sometimes
forgotten those principles. Women, Censorship/Human Rights, and
Cyberspace are just a few of the topics covered, with writings from
Chris Atton, Heather Moorcroft, and others. Articles come from such
sources as Multicultural Reviewand Progressive Librarian. A special
feature examines the Hawaiian outsourcing scandal.
