Civil Liberties, Intellectual Freedom and Privacy


On September 1, 2008, ALA will unveil a redesigned web site that is the culmination of two years of gathering information from focus groups, interviews, usability tests, surveys and other feedback loops.

We invite you to preview the site's new look at www.ala.org/preview, and to see the Washington Office's work in progress at http://staging.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/washoff/index.cfm.

Beginning August 1, information on our web pages will NOT be updated until the new launch in September. Please check the District Dispatch, the Washington Office blog for regular updates and information during this time.

You may contact the ALA Library at library@ala.org (or 800-545-2433, x2153) if further assistance is needed locating specific content or updates during our migration.


Two significant areas of concern include 1) filtering and the laws that have attempted to mandate federal filtering requirements in order to receive federally authorized funding such as E-rate discounts and LSTA funds and 2) potential privacy and civil liberties infringements as a result of legislation such as the USA PATRIOT Act and the REAL ID Act.
