SUMMARY:Minimum Standards for Libraries - Selection and Reconsideration Policies
DESCRIPTION:Selection and reconsideration policies are crucial elements in 
 supporting the mission of libraries. This webinar will address:\n\n\n	The 
 current climate of high scrutiny of materials and the ethical obligations 
 of library workers to uphold professional ethics \n	Intellectual freedom\, 
 the First Amendment\, and ALA’s Library Bill of Rights & Freedom to Read 
 Statement\n	\n		Access to controversial ideas does not mean the library 
 endorses them\n		What does it mean to have a balanced 
 collection?\n	\n	\n	Featured resource: Public Library Collection Management 
 Policy Template and Guide (2022)\n	Materials selection policy \n	\n		Affirm 
 a commitment to intellectual freedom\n		What criteria are used for 
 selecting materials? Who selects? Will the Library accept donated 
 materials?\n		What criteria are used for weeding/deselection? 
 \n		Acknowledge collections the library doesn’t select (Hoopla\, 
 OverDrive/Libby)\n		New: Does the library collect AI-generated 
 materials?\n	\n	\n	Reconsideration policy\n	\n		How must requests be 
 submitted?\n		Who has standing to submit - residents only?\n		Is there a 
 max number of reconsideration requests a single person can make at a time? 
 How will multiple requests to reconsider the same item be handled?\n		What 
 other information must a submission include?\n		Who will organize and 
 complete the review process?\n		Is there an appeals 
 process?\n	\n	\n\n\nSince 2019\, Caroline Ashby has served as Director of
