DRAFT — 1/26/93
ECONOMIC BARRIERS TO INFORMATION ACCESS
AN INTERPRETATION OF THE LIBRARY BILL OF RIGHTS
A democracy presupposes an informed citizenry. The First Amendment mandates the
right of all persons to free expression, and the corollary right to receive the
constitutionally protected expression of others. The publicly supported library provides
free and equal access to information for all people of the community the library serves.
While the roles, goals and objectives of publicly supported libraries may differ, they
share this common mission.
The library's essential mission must remain the first consideration for librarians and
governing bodies faced with economic pressures and competition for funding.
In support of this mission, the American Library Association has enumerated certain
principles of library service in the LIBRARY BILL OF RIGHTS.
PRINCIPLES GOVERNING FINES, FEES AND USER CHARGES
Article I of the LIBRARY BILL OF RIGHTS states: "Books and other library resources
should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the
community the library serves."
Article V of the LIBRARY BILL OF RIGHTS states: "a person's right to use a library should
not be denied or abridged because of origin, age,background, or views."
The American Library Association opposes the charging of user fees for the provision of
information by all libraries and information services that receive their major support
from public funds. All information resources that are provided directly or indirectly by
the library, regardless of technology, format, or methods of delivery, should be equally
and equitably accessible to all library users.
Libraries that adhere to these principles systematically monitor their programs of
service for potential barriers to access and strive to eliminate such barriers when they
occur. All library policies and procedures, particularly those involving fines, fees, or
other user charges, should be scrutinized for potential barriers to access. All services
should be designed and implemented with care, so as not to infringe on or interfere
with the provision or delivery of information and resources for all users. Services
should be re-evaluated on a regular basis to ensure that the library's basic mission
remains uncompromised.
Librarians and governing bodies should look for alternative models and methods of
library administration that minimize distinctions among users based on their economic
status or financial condition. They should resist the temptation to impose user fees to
alleviate financial pressures, at long term cost to institutional integrity and public
confidence in libraries.
Library services that involve the provision of information, regardless of format,
technology, or method of delivery, should be made available to all library users on an
equal and equitable basis. Charging fees for the use of library collections, services,
programs, or facilities that were purchased with public funds raises barriers to access.
Such fees effectively abridge or deny access for some members of the community
because they reinforce distinctions among users based on their ability and willingness
to pay.
PRINCIPLES GOVERNING CONDITIONS OF FUNDING
Article II of the LIBRARY BILL OF RIGHTS states: "Materials should not be proscribed or
removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval."
Article III of the LIBRARY BILL OF RIGHTS states: "Libraries should challenge censorship
in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment."
Article IV of the LIBRARY BILL OF RIGHTS states: "Library should cooperate with all
persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free
access to ideas."
The American Library Association opposes any legislative or regulatory attempt to
impose content restrictions on library resources, or to limit user access to information,
as a condition for funding publicly supported libraries and information services.
The First Amendment guarantee of freedom of expression is violated when the right to
receive that expression is subject to arbitrary restrictions based on content.
Librarians and governing bodies should examine carefully any terms or conditions
attached to library funding and should oppose attempts to limit through such
conditions full and equal access to information because of content. This principle
applies equally to private gifts or bequests and to public funds. In particular, librarians
and governing bodies have an obligation to reject such restrictions when the effect of
the restriction is to limit equal and equitable access to information.
Librarians and governing bodies should cooperate with all efforts to create a community
consensus that publicly supported libraries require funding unfettered by restrictions.
Such a consensus supports the library mission to provide the free and unrestricted
exchange of information and ideas necessary to a functioning democracy.
The Association's historic position in this regard is stated dearly in a number of
Association policies: 50.4 Free Access to Information, 50.9 Financing of Libraries, 51.2
Equal Access to Library Service, 51.3 Intellectual Freedom, 53 Intellectual Freedom
Policies, 59.1 Policy Objectives, and 60 Library Services for the Poor.
