Unknown 10 Ontario School Library Association t h e e d it o r 's n o t e b o o k INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM @ your library® Welcome to our "issues issue" and our focus on intellectualfreedom. Our writers include authors, teacher-librarians, and astudent. They share their experiences, suggest resources, and make us think about an issue that is at the very centre of what it is libraries - and the people who work in them - are all about. It's easy to say we value intellectual freedom and abhor censorship, but it can be a challenge to live up to our statements when faced with public pressure or the pressure of our personal opinions and feelings. It's absolutely vital that we understand the difference between censorship and selection, and understand child and adolescent development (and know our own students) well enough to understand which of the materials we've selected are best suited for use with particular students. It's my hope, and the hope of the members of the Editorial Board, that the material presented in this issue of The Teaching Librarian will help you think about intellectual freedom and prepare for any challenges you might face. This issue of The Teaching Librarian contains Diane Bédard's final ICT article… after 25articles, she's decided it's time to move on. Diane's articles have always been apopular feature and she's helped many of us learn about computers and think through technology issues. All of us on the Editorial Board wish to thank Diane for her contribution and extend our best wishes for whatever she plans to do next. ❚ Brenda Dillon T L THE TEACHING LIBRARIAN BOARD Roberta Henley Brantford Collegiate, Grand Erie District School Board / OSLA President 2004 Mary Lachapelle OECTA / Hamilton-Wentworth Unit Sheryl Lavery Waverly Public School, Durham District School Board Martha Martin LaSalle Public School, Greater Essex County District School Board Susan Moroz Forest Glade Public School, Greater Essex County District School Board Esther Rosenfeld Toronto District School Board / OSLA President 2002, 2003 Karen Smulevitch Leaside High School, Toronto District School Board Sya Van Geest OSLA President 2000, 2001 Marilyn Willis Peel District School Board THE TEACHING LIBRARIAN EDITOR Brenda Dillon Philip Pocock Catholic Secondary School, Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board OLA DESIGNWORKS Lori Knowles/Jennifer Marriott/Larry Moore/Andrew Ryther V. 13, no. 1 Student Success Deadline: September 26, 2005 V. 13, no. 2 Across the Curriculum Deadline: December 12, 2005 V. 13, no. 3 Library Renewal Deadline: February 13, 2006 Articles of 1000-1300 words in length are welcome.
