                        Annual Symposium

     Are limits on freedom of expression and information ever
justified?  How can we develop intellectually diverse library
collections and maximize free access to information?  What are
the differences between selectivity and censorship?  What free-
speech issue are raised by the new electronic technologies, and
how are they being addressed?

     This year's ACRL/NY symposium, "Intellectual Diversity and
Political Correctness: Continuing Controversies," will address
issues such as these.  The speakers will be Dr. Timothy S. Healy,
President of the New York Public Library; Judith Krug, Director
of ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom; Mark Rosenzweig, Acting
Head of Acquisitions and Collection Development at LaGuardia
Community College; Michael Godwin, Staff Counsel of the Electronic
Frontier Foundation, and writer Net Hentoff.

     The all-day event (8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) will be held at
the Fashion Institute of Technology, 7th Avenue at 27th Street,
in Manhattan, on Wednesday, November 18th.  A buffet lunch will
be served.
