I also found the research conducted on filtering issues to be

Please consider joining the Intellectual Freedom Committee at Gordon Biersch in Glendale after the conference for food, drinks and conversation on Wednesday, December 10 at 5 PM.  This will not be a formal meeting, but more of an occasion for you to meet people on the committee, find out what we do, and chat about IF concerns and opportunities.  I have made a tentative reservation for the group.

Welcome to the AzLA Intellectual Freedom Network blog. This blog was created to disseminate all sorts of news and information concerning Intellectual Freedom issues in the State of Arizona. The AzLA Intellectual Freedom Committee hopes this blog will also serve to educate librarians and the general public about the importance and precariousness of Intellectual Freedom in America.
