Does the ALA Library Bill of Rights Apply to Interactive Media?

“Selection of online resources, including Web sites, should also be governed by this collection development policy and be subject to the same procedures for review of challenged materials.” (2009)

Challenged Materials

“The digital environment offers opportunities for accessing, creating, and sharing information. The rights of minors to retrieve, interact with, and create information posted on the Internet in schools and libraries are extensions of their First Amendment rights.”
