Library Bill of Rights (1) The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide their services.   I. Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of origin, background or views of those contributing to their creation. II. Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval. III. Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment. All libraries in U.S. follow the Bill of Rights

Library Bill of Rights (2) IV. Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas.   V. A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views. VI. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use. Adopted June 18, 1948. Amended February 2, 1961, and January 23, 1980, inclusion of "age" reaffirmed January 23, 1996, by the ALA Council.

美国图书馆人权法案 美国图书馆协会确认所有的图书馆都是资料讯息及理念的讨论平台。所有的图书馆服务应以下列基本政策为其指导： 图书馆中所有的书籍及非书籍资料皆为满足当地社区的阅读兴趣，资讯求取，才智启蒙而设。不应将不同的种族，背景，或持有不同观点的著作排除在外。 開 開宗明義 Translation is provided by NYPL librarian Mr. Zhang Hong Yun

美国图书馆人权法案 图书馆收藏应涵盖对当今或历史事件的全面观点。不应因党派或教条禁制而消灭藏书。 图书馆应挑战检审制度，以负起提供资讯启迪民智的责任。 。 图书馆应与各方人士合作以抗拒对言论自由及理念自由的限制。 人们使用图书馆的权利不应因种族，年纪，背景或观点而被剥夺。

美国图书馆人权法案 图书馆的展览空间及会议场所应对公众开放。不论申请使用者的信仰，身份，或其所属的单位组织，皆应一视同仁公平对待。 1948年6月18日采行。 1961年2月2日补充。 1980年1月23日增添“年纪”词条 。 1996年1月23日美国图书馆协会再度确认。 张鸿运翻译

USA Patriot Act Section 215 Information such as library circulation, Internet use and registration records can be the subject of the warrant. FISA courts do not require the demonstration of “probable cause.” Instead law enforcement need only claim a belief that desired records may be related to an ongoing investigation of international terrorism or foreign intelligence activities. Law enforcement agents may obtain from a FISA court a search warrant for “any tangible thing,” including books, records, papers, data tapes and computers with hard drives. Due to the terrorists agitations on American soil the government put out the USA Patriot Act.

美国爱国者法案 第215条 执法人员可从外国情报侦搜法案法庭取得搜索票以获取任何实质物品如：书籍，记录，论文，数据磁带电脑硬碟。 美国爱国者法案 第215条 执法人员可从外国情报侦搜法案法庭取得搜索票以获取任何实质物品如：书籍，记录，论文，数据磁带电脑硬碟。 图书馆借书纪录，网络使用纪录，申请登记记录皆 可为搜索票侦搜之对象。 执法人员不须向法庭出示“可靠的证据”，只须表明其相信所需调查的记录与正在进行中的国际恐怖主义或外国间谍活动有关联。 张鸿运翻译

Office of Materials Selection

Traditional Ordering 传统购书方法 Each branch got a budget 每分馆有自已的预算资金 。 Lists were prepared centrally and mailed to each branch e.g. new titles, replacements according to subject areas 有关部门每期分发书单给分馆。 Staff at each branch looked for reviews, had meetings on each list, decided on titles, and did own calculation of amount spent 分馆馆员负责寻找评论，开会决定书目，统计开支。 Office collected lists and compiled numbers together. Orders then sent out to vendors 有关部门集中各分馆的书目，送订单给书商。 All branch staff are involved. Each branch repeats the process. Orders never come in on time. Ordering of hot items were often delayed. Occasionally individual staff might concentrate buys on subjects he like best.

Shortcoming of this Method Very time consuming 非常耗时 Process repeated in all 60 locations About 70% of titles were must for most branches 大概70%书目对每馆都重要 Lists never come back to office on time, resulting in order delays 书单不准时交回，以至延迟整体订书 BPL would rather have branch staff devote most of their time to public services 图书馆宁可分馆馆员大部分的时间投入到公共服务

The Office of Materials Selection is in charge of ordering English and World Language materials for the whole system, that is comprised of 60 different locations. When English materials are ordered mostly by selectors working in OMS, selection of world language materials is a combined effort of many different language librarians who are chosen because of their language know-how and their familiarity of world language patron needs. The 2 librarians at OMS who overseas the world language selection, ordering, and distribution are Maria Fung and Libbhy Romero.

Selectors Advisory Committees 外语选购组 For major languages, such as Russian and Chinese, there are at least 3 language librarians serving on the Advisory Committee. One of them is always from the Multilingual Center. 对主要语种，俄语和汉语组，每组由最少3个语种馆员组成。其中一人是多语言中心馆员。 1 to 2 language librarians serving on some remaining advisory committees. 其他语种由1个到2个语种馆员组成。 In the absence of language librarians, profile and budget amount are sent to vendor periodically for them to do the selection for us. 如缺乏某语种馆员，图书馆会向书商提供题材形式要求和预算金额，让他们定期为我们选书。 We have advisory committee for every language we order, except Albanian.
