Resolution on and Professional Disputes in Libraries Involving the Infringement of Librarians Rights and Responsibilities
Adopted at 1999 Annual Conference
WHEREAS the Policy Manual makes clear that the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app is committed to defense of librarian's rights including, but not confined to intellectual freedom rights; and
WHEREAS a mechanism for dealing with these crucial professional matters no longer exists since the dissolution of SCRIM; therefore be it
RESOLVED that the Social Responsibilities Round Table of the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app calls on to create a standing committee to deal with egregious violations of professional rights and responsibilities of librarians within libraries themselves; and also be it
RESOLVED that such a committee should be empowered to investigate and come to judgment about appropriate instances brought to its attention; and finally be it
RESOLVED that the committee can propose censure, remedies or the mediation of such disputes as involve infringement of librarians' rights as spelled out in our policy manual.
