Future Librarians for Intellectual Freedom
The Future Librarians are a group of Master's degree students, working on their Library and Information Studies degrees at the University of Alberta. As future information professionals they are interested in issues related to intellectual freedom and social responsibility.
The group runs an online blog and participates in a number of events in the Edmonton, Alberta area, including displays for Banned Books Week and distributions of free books to Edmonton's homeless and at-risk community at Homeless Connect Edmonton.
Protecting Your Online Privacy is a new initiative, inspired by the work of the Library Freedom Project in the USA. Our hope is to create a workshop that we can take on the road, increasing privacy literacy for everyone.
