REPORT: INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM IN THE INFORMATION SOCIETY, LIBRARIES AND
THE INTERNET The International Federation of Library Associations and
Institutions (IFLA) has announced the release of the IFLA/FAIFE World
Report 2003, entitled "Intellectual Freedom in the Information Society,
Libraries and the Internet." The report focuses on libraries and the
Internet, discussing the digital divide, filtering and blocking of
information, user privacy, financial barriers, intellectual freedom and
codes of ethics. It also considers the adoption and implementation of
the IFLA Internet Manifesto and the Glasgow Declaration on Libraries,
Information Services and Intellectual Freedom, which express vital
principles for a free Internet supported by strong library and
information services. The survey discussed in the report finds that
there is a long way to go before countries, their libraries and their
staff are suitably equipped and properly trained to meet the challenge
of safeguarding their patrons' full participation in the information and
knowledge society.

On another further out note.
As if there aren't enough technological options out there, two MIT
students are using cable TV channels to "broadcast" user selected music
to students through the cable TV system. Sort of like a group of people
sitting in a library and listening to the same CD together.. uses a
different kind of copyright issue than file sharing..
I know our cable system at home has many channels of music, maybe a
library could use some of those channels to distribute materials.. and
the users would promise not to copy them.. Although our cable system's
program titles were off by an hour all day yesterday so maybe working
with cable systems might not be easy..
