<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12.8px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">During the COVID-19 pandemic, libraries and schools continue to face censorship attempts. The ALA Office for Intellectual
Freedom is seeking information on any ban or request to remove library or school materials, displays, and programs that happened in 2020.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12.8px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">OIF urges library workers and educators to report all censorship incidents, even if they don’t need assistance
or support to address the challenge. Those with information about bans and challenges that happened anytime this year are encouraged to submit OIF’s online reporting form by December 31, 2020. All personal and institutional information submitted is kept confidential. </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12.8px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">The information gathered from these reports helps OIF identify censorship trends, support library workers and
compile the Top 10 Most Challenged Books list, published in April during National Library Week. OIF collects information on attempts to remove books, DVDs, online resources and displays. The office also documents attempts to cancel programs and disinvite speakers.<span> </span></span><a href="https://bit.ly/2L1V3bn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://bit.ly/2L1V3bn&source=gmail&ust=1606956961564000&usg=AFQjCNE4qoP9BCyVUGq9y5ZqvxTgaSBmXQ" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Read

<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12.8px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">Closing, opening, and reopening academic libraries during a pandemic requires library decision-makers to take
on new roles, learn new things, and apply new knowledge to decision making for their facilities and employees. These decision-makers find themselves in need of real-time information — not only about their own institution’s practices, but also how other libraries
are responding. Some are thrust into leadership positions on their own campuses. Others struggle for guidance.<span> </span></span><a href="https://bit.ly/3obGNLg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://bit.ly/3obGNLg&source=gmail&ust=1606956961564000&usg=AFQjCNH04YfGBgIVhKEVjEcfz7Prv2_HaQ" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Read

<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12.8px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">The Institutional Repository (IR) has become standard to the academic library in the past decade. In fact, some
5,000 are listed in open access directories. However, IR operations are anything but standard. You are not alone in your challenges, whether they be discovery of born digital content or policies for deposit and withdrawal. “The Complete Guide to Institutional
Repositories,” published by ALA Editions in cooperation with Core, gathers expertise to offer a comprehensive guide on contemporary institutional repository management. The collection is edited by Stephen Craig Finlay.<span> </span></span><a href="http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2020/11/core-s-complete-guide-institutional-repositories" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.ala.org/news/member-news/2020/11/core-s-complete-guide-institutional-repositories&source=gmail&ust=1606956961564000&usg=AFQjCNE1RFOh7eo0UxWh9Gv_SEz8_hj2qA" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Read
