SLA Stands Firm in Support of Libraries, Information Integrity, and Intellectual Freedom - Special Libraries Association, Inc.
In the wake of recent events, both within the United States and around the globe, it is clear that libraries, librarians, information professionals, and the very integrity and impartiality of information itself continue to face grave political, legal, social, and cultural peril. The Special Libraries Association (SLA) joins with other library and information organizations in reaffirming its commitment to the intellectual freedom of all peoples and the open and honest exchange of information among them.
