Libr.org Legal Generalities....... and Hate Mail we have received.Context: from Herbert Schiller's Information Inequality, p. 35.(London, New York: Routledge, 1996) ISBN: 0-415-90765-9"...(I)nformation and data processing instrumentation are not independent orautonomous elements in society. How, and for what purposes, they are employedconstitute essential and defining features of the social order. In thecase of information, two dramatically different ways of using it can beimagined. One is to regard information as a social good and a centralelement in the development and creation of a democratic society. Underthis premise, information serves to facilitate democratic decisionmaking, assists citizen participation in government, and contributes tothe search for roughly egalitarian measures in the economy at large.Comprehensive and well-organized public information enables decisionmakers to make rational resource allocation decisions; to prioritizesocial claims; to maximize social welfare. It allows them to overcomebaleful practices that harm the general welfare, like pollution,smoking, and armaments production. Such information resources allowleaders to promote the development of science and invention that aresocially beneficial and to organize historical experience for meaningfulcontemporary reflection and use. In brief, comprehensive,well-organized public information enables decision makers to bring pastknowledge and experience to bear on current issues and problems."In contrast to information as a social good, a different approach cantreat information as a privately produced commodity for sale. Actually,since Gutenberg, information has been bought and sold. Yet in the500-year evolution of the industrial-capitalist state, social movementshave sought to reserve some share of the community's informationproduction and supply for common use. The public library system and thegreat land-grant universities are among the signal achievements of theseefforts in the United States."In the 1990's, with the indispensable assistance of computerization,information is being produced, packaged, stored, and sold. Publicstockpiles of information, government and academic, are being acquiredin all sorts of imaginative and pecuniary ways by private companies. Avigorous and aggressive Information Industry Association successfullypromotes its own objectives. In this pervasive atmosphere of privatelyacquiring, processing, and selling information, the public librarysystem, a long-standing custodian of the idea and practice, ofinformation as a social good, is tottering. Its function is beingredefined and stripped of its social character..."...Many librarians resist this direction and work valiantly, sometimes successfully, in the democratic tradition, defending the general social good. Their efforts are part of a larger democratic struggle that is not going well at this time. Alongside besieged public schools and public libraries are other organizations and institutions with democratic objectives and agendas that are also being swamped by technological, financial, and political pressures of the voracious market economy."Libr.org exists primarily to help small organizations of librarians who are working in this struggle to defend the social good. It provides a place on the web to make their information easily accessible, and further disseminates information from these and other groups to help people make personal and professional connections that activate the library world.
