Re-assessing (and re-affirming) the library's role in the advancing of democratic values, this book considers the challenges libraries face, especially those posed by new technologies. Twenty essays recall the historical and theoretical role of libraries in democratic societies and examine issues like poverty, information literacy, internet access, ethics and power, censorship, democracy, the role of the Library of Congress, the right to information, and the place of advocacy. Contributors are librarians, archivists, consultants, and scholars of library science. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
