		Libraries purchase a wide range of educational and entertainment videotapes for in-library use and for lending to patrons.
		Libraries which allow groups to use or rent their public meeting rooms should, as part of their rental agreement, require the group to warrant that it will secure all necessary performance licenses and indemnify the library for any failure on their part to do so.
		The performance may be infringing because the library is open to the public and the audience would be a group larger than a family and friends outside of a non-profit instructional program.

	American Library Association Preservation Policy
		The American Library Association's policy on preservation is based on its goal of ensuring that every person has access to information at the time needed and in a useable format.

		Libraries have an obligation (a) to inform donors, users, administrators, and local officials about the ephemeral nature of primary source materials, (b) to promote strategies for the proper care, handling, and storage of these materials, and (c) to recommend the use of durable media and methods of documentation.

	Duncan Currie on American Library Association & Cuba on National Review Online
		Winston Tabb, the outgoing chairman of the ALA's international-relations committee, gave perhaps the flimsiest rationale for the association's decision.
		Other ALA representatives, as it happens, did, including Mark Rosenzweig, an at-large member of the association's Social Responsibility Round Table and the director of the Reference Center for Marxist Studies (the official repository of the Communist Party USA's archives).

	FindLaw: United States Case Law
		A library's need to exercise judgment in making collection decisions depends on its traditional role in identifying suitable and worthwhile material; it is no less entitled to play that role when it collects material from the Internet than when it collects material from any other source.
		Public libraries, by contrast, have no comparable role that pits them against the Government, and there is no comparable assumption that they must be free of any conditions that their benefactors might attach to the use of donated funds or other assistance.
		Less restrictive alternatives to filtering that further libraries' interest in preventing minors from exposure to visual depictions that are harmful to minors include requiring parental consent to or presence during unfiltered access, or restricting minors' unfiltered access to terminals within view of library staff.

	Report to the American Library Association
		@your library materials and messages adapted to suit their nation’s needs and in the many languages spoken in those countries.
		A good thought… However, I found out that in so many associations that the President is an honorary position and that the Executive Director is the one who develops the programs, manages the association, and is the most active person in promoting the association programs and resolving problems.
		Note that since that visit and this report was originally written and submitted to the ALA Executive Board, that the Feingold Amendment(s) failed and an anti-terrorism bill was passed that is dreadful for libraries and those concerned with privacy, civil liberties, etc.

	American Family Association - AgapePress news
		Libraries are supposed to be places where children learn, where they are protected, where responsible adults offer reasonable guidance.
		The pressure forced a halfhearted solution by library trustees -- to provide a handful of computer systems that will be filtered for minors (but only with the written requirement from each child's parent).
		It is no surprise that the ALA and the American Civil Liberties Union are challenging the act because they believe it violates First Amendment protections; the ACLU, in fact, remains one of the few ardent supporters for legalizing child pornography.

		For those attendees from the Library of Congress, it was a chance not only to meet with their colleagues from across the country and around the world but also to see a former staffer honored by the world's largest library association.
		Another panelist, Jacqueline Mancall, a professor at Drexel University, who was representing the American Association of School Libraries, noted how the bicentenary "provides a unique opportunity for AASL to forge a partnership" with LC.
		One way in which the Library is doing just that is with the Library of Congress/Ameritech National Digital Library Competition, which in April made awards to 10 institutions nationwide (see LC Information Bulletin, June 9, 1997) to digitize their important American collections and make them part of LC's American Memory on-line collections.
