According to the article, the FBI was conducting a library awareness program in the New York area, asking librarians to be alert to foreigners from nations hostile to the United States and to report their activities to the FBI. The ongoing media coverage and debate since 1987, identifies the FBI and NCLIS (U.S. National Commission on Library and Information Science) as major stakeholders supporting the program and Congress and the library community under the leadership of the American Library Association (ALA) Intellectual Freedom Committee (IFC) as major stakeholders opposing it. |
