Hi all!

I am the co-chair of the OLA Intellectual Freedom Committee. We have an opening on the IFC committee, and I wanted to extend an offer specifically to Reformistas! The intersections of intellectual freedom and equity of access -- and at times the tensions between them -- are very important to me, and I would love to have an applicant to the committee who has spent time thinking about those issues. I believe equity and inclusion are aspects of intellectual freedom that are often not given the attention they deserve.

The Intellectual Freedom Committee is a 9-member standing OLA committee with the charge of supporting the library community's commitment to the freedom to read, open access to information, and other intellectual freedom issues throughout the state. Ongoing projects of the committee include:
- supporting Banned Books Week
- sponsoring sessions at the OLA conference on IF issues
- supporting libraries that receive a challenge to their materials
- providing information on IF issues through listserv communication, social media, web tool kits, and other resources
- providing a searchable database of news reports related to intellectual freedom issues in Oregon
- honoring intellectual freedom champions
- working with the Library Development and Legislation
Committee and the OLA Board on topical issues that arise, such as net neutrality

Members are asked to serve at least two years. The IFC meets approximately six times a year, plus a short meeting at the OLA annual conference. Committee members participate remotely, either via Zoom or conference call. Applicants must be available to attend Friday 9:30 - 11:30 meetings.

To apply, please send a letter of interest (no longer than 1 page) to me, Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney, at ifc.chair at olaweb.org<mailto:ifc.chair at olaweb.org>. Please include information about: the areas of intellectual freedom that interest you, your availability to participate in committee work, and the work and life experience which you would bring to the committee.
