Library workers often find themselves on the
frontline of battles over everything from the
individual right to privacy to fundamental issues
of intellectual freedom. The importance of
defending professional integrity from external
pressure has gained prominence across a wide
range of sectors and professions. To that end,
ALA-APA and ALA are both part of Professionals
for the Public Interest: Associations and Unions
Defending Professional Integrity, a coalition of
professional associations and labor unions working
to address challenges to professional integrity that
will also be discussed in this panel.
Speakers: Jenifer Grady, ALAAPA, Director; Julius
