The OIF staff are still working on crafting resources for librarians who have experienced these situations and those who want to be proactive in case an auditor visits their library. To best capture all the details, use the "Challenge Reporting" online form. I've edited the form to include "First Amendment Audit" in the "Other" category. There is a list of possibilities that includes: student publications or performances, access to libraries or library cards, social media, artwork, and now --> "First Amendment Audit". www.ala.org/tools/challengesupport/report<http://www.ala.org/tools/challengesupport/report> Please share this request with your professional colleagues. The more OIF knows about what is going on, the better OIF can tailor their support for libraries.
