Information Policies and Strategies Ian Cornelius This book examines the big issues, like censorship, intellectual property, freedom of information, privacy and data protection, that librarians are faced with. These are all placed within the context of arguments about the public sphere. The working librarian has to be in a position to justify every stock purchase and information access decision, and in the strategies they follow to legitimate the library. The discussion of issues in this book will give librarians the context and arguments they need to identify and apply appropriate information policies and strategies.
