TOSHOKAN-KAIiThe@Library Worldj v. 49 no. 2 (July, 1997)
Abstract
The Council of the American Library Association adopted a new Interpre-
tation "Access to Electronic Information, Services, and Networks: An Inter-pretation of the Library Bill of Rights" in January 24, 1996.
This new Interpretation is a basic policy statement concerning networking resources, especially Internet. This paper traces the process of adopting this document and explains it in detail. Also, controversy on the so-called "Communica-tions Decency Act" and the litigation, ALA v. Department of Justice are briefly touched.
