Progressive Librarians Guild - Toronto Chapter Stands with Dale Askey

From their statement: As a professional librarian engaged in collection development, Mr. Askey is qualified to make a judgment on the quality of published material. Furthermore, in an open and democratic society, he is free to share these opinions as he sees fit. The lawsuit brought against him is nothing more than a retaliatory measure and an outright assault on academic freedom—a principle that is highly regarded by both the doctoral community and libraries—the very communities that Edwin Mellen Press claims as their prime audience. We call upon the library and academic communities to stand up for Dale's academic freedom and basic freedom of speech. Full statement at: http://plggta.org/archives/149
