Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Libraries can unwittingly contribute to the arrested development of society by passively collecting materials on pre-approved lists of available literature. I believe librarians are uniquely poised to be information activists. Libraries not only store information but all libraries can highlight information and raise awareness about important issues. As an African-American librarian, working in a law library, I have been made aware of concentrated efforts by the powers that be to withhold incendiary information from the masses. I feel it is my job to utilizing my professional training to unearth buried information about obscure issues.
