Abstract
Historical perspective; the Statement on Intellectual Freedom in libraries in Japan
In 1954 the all-Japan Librarians’ conference of Japan Library Association adopted the Statement on Intellectual Freedom in Libraries. Internationally in those days only American Library Association adopted Library’s Bill of Rights (1934) and formed the Committee on Intellectual Freedom to Safeguard the Library Users to Freedom of Inquiry. Through analysis of the social background for adopting a statement on intellectual freedom, this paper presents the missionary thought and hope of Japanese librarians on library and information services after being defeated in World War 2 and having struggled to re-construct Japanese society.Perspective Historique: La Déclaration sur la Liberté d'Expression Intellectuelle dans les Bibliothèques Japonaises
En 1954, lors de la conférence de la Japan Library Association, l’ensemble des bibliothécaires du Japon ont adopté la déclaration portant sur la liberté intellectuelle dans les bibliothèques. De nos jours, seulement l’American Library Association avait adopté le “Library’s Bill of Rights” (1934) et formé le “Comité de Liberté Intellectuelle pour la Sauvegarde du Droit de Recherche des Usagers en Bibliothèque”. Si l’on considère le contexte social inhérent à l’adoption d’une déclaration sur la liberté intellectuelle, ce document représente le nouveau fer de lance et l’espoir des bibliothécaires japonais, dans leur mission d’information et de services. Notamment après leur défaite pendant la seconde guerre mondiale et leur lutte pour la reconstruction la société Japonaise.Item Type: | Conference or Workshop Item (Paper) | ||||||
