The Intellectual Freedom Manual, fifth edition, was published in 1996; the sixth edition, in October 2001; the seventh, in January 2006. This site provides information and links related to these editions of the Intellectual Freedom Manual that, because of space considerations, could not be published within the print version. In addition, this site is designed to supplement the Intellectual Freedom Manual between editions.

"This manual is designed to answer practical questions that confront librarians in applying the principles of intellectual freedom to library service. It is our hope that every librarian will keep the Intellectual Freedom Manual close at hand as a convenient reference work. If, for example, a librarian wants to know what the American Library Association (ALA) can do to help resist censorship of library materials, how to handle complaints, or how to write an appropriate letter to legislators, help can be found in the Intellectual Freedom Manual. If the problem is complex--for example, the development of a materials selection program--practical guidelines on how to tackle the problem are offered."
