Sounds very interesting wish I could make it David, good luck. I wonder if similar research has been done on censorship in 'community libraries'?

Subject: Challenging Censorship in Scottish Libraries: Towards a Collaborative Solution - Free event
[Apologies for cross-posting]
Please find below details of FREE knowledge exchange event at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow as part of the Engage with Strathclyde programme:
Challenging Censorship in Scottish Libraries: Towards a Collaborative Solution
Venue:
University of Strathclyde
SIPBS Hamnett Wing
Room: 112-114
Research by the University of Strathclyde has highlighted issues around censorship in public and school libraries in Scotland that affect provision of both paper and digital services. Evidence suggests that an over-riding factor is the lack of a coordinated national policy approach to censorship issues in libraries.
This event will present the evidence, consider professional ethical codes and practitioner experiences, and aims to propose workable solutions to take forward collaboratively after the session.
