{"title":"Women's Healthcare, Censorship, and the Library: Problems, Issues, Questions.","authors":"Nancy Kuhl","doi":"10.1515/9783110962802-022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110962802-022","url":null,"abstract":"Censorship of information dealing with women's reproductive health, birth control, abortion, and other family planning issues is widespread in the U.S. and abroad. Even in highly industrialized nations where women seemingly have access to a range of healthcare choices, subtle censorship of information regarding birth control, abortion, sexuality, and other issues prevent women from accessing thorough, current, accurate, and unbiased information about these subject areas. In many parts of the world, censorship is overt and woman and girls lack access to even basic information about their bodies, sexuality, and family planning. This paper will explore various contemporary and historical examples of the censorship of information about reproductive heath and family planning. Such examples include, but are not limited to, the following: the censorship of Margaret Sanger and other pioneers of women's healthcare and birth control; the challenges faced by women attempting to produce culture- or nation-specific editions of books like Our Bodies, Ourselves (published in the U.S. by the Boston Women's Health Book Collective); the misinformation and propaganda surrounding the FDA approval of RU 486, the so-called abortion pill; and the global gag rule whereby U.S. family planning assistance is denied to international organizations that provide information about abortion services or perform abortions (even if they are funded by other, non-US sources). The role of libraries in providing access to information about family planning, women's health, and related issues is somewhat unclear at this time. Though libraries in the United States and abroad are often advocates for free access to information of all kinds, the political and social implications of women's reproductive health issues can make such advocacy difficult if not impossible. Because family planning and reproductive health issues are influenced by social, cultural, political, and religious factors, libraries, which hope to provide access to information in these areas will face significant challenges and risks. This paper will consider the extent to which libraries are meeting women's information needs in these areas. The essay will examine possible roles libraries can and should play in the fight to provide healthcare information to women and girls all over the world. A commitment to providing access to controversial information is not without consequence (consider, in the U.S., the threat to cut federal funding to libraries that do not use Internet filters -most of which prevent access to information about birth control, abortion, and related topics). Family Planning, Censorship, and the Library will explore the risks libraries and librarians face in providing women with access to controversial information. Finally, the paper will also discuss the part library associations, such as IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) and ALA (American Library Association), might ","PeriodicalId":106444,"journal":{"name":"IFLA publications","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115111034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is surely a pity that the need for information and access to information for women have not been taken as a serious matter in the field of library and information services. In the Indian context it is even more so because, other than the academic and scientific sector where information is a scholarly commodity and the user is a serious information seeker whether a man or a women, the information need of an ordinary woman is seldom understood or appreciated. The status of women being a major subject of debate in India is dependent on several factors. However, in this paper I wish to address the diverse factors which will ultimately influence the information seeking behaviour of women.","PeriodicalId":106444,"journal":{"name":"IFLA publications","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124762135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Telecommunications and Information Technologies have been key elements in this process. There are leading institutions with remarkable programs, nevertheless it is necessary to design marketing strategies to improve their benefits. A case study based on a Mexican university library system is presented in order to analyze how ITC applications and marketing techniques have been harmoniously combined. Although every country in the region must find its own solutions, some ideas are presented to emphasize that marketing is not exclusively for businessmen. It is the science of strategy, and its main objective is client (user) satisfaction, so we librarians are welcome to act enthusiastically on its applications.","PeriodicalId":106444,"journal":{"name":"IFLA publications","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132798528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By virtue of such decisions, libraries have essentially controlled access to, and imposed a structure and relational value system on, all forms of information. A wide range of difficulties has hampered access to information about, by and of particular concern to females of all ages. In recent years, librarians all across the globe have organized to modify existing practices in libraries and documentation centers. They are working with national and international government and grassroots agencies to make information about women and girls more easily available so that public policies can be better informed on issues that disproportionately affect females. Previously, many countries did not even compile statistics on social, political, and economic indicators on females. Any national statistics kept were not disaggregated by sex. As a result, public policy was crafted to coincide with beliefs rather than facts. This paper gives an overview of activities undertaken by librarians and other information professionals worldwide over the past decade or so and currently. An impressive variety of agencies either specialize in women's information entirely or have specialized units within larger institutions that make information about women's and gender issues accessible, in paper and all electronic formats from the Internet to video and sound recordings to specialized discrete databases.","PeriodicalId":106444,"journal":{"name":"IFLA publications","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115672687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dealing with diversity is the real problem for providers interested in offering quality services, and for users seeking to access relevant sources to answer their information problems. This paper outlines the efforts of the UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) to help UK Higher Education Institutions deal with this growing diversity of information resources. These efforts are based on two strands: the Electronic Libraries Program and the development of the JISC Collections. These strands are now coming together as JISC concentrates on developing a Distributed National Electronic Resource (DNER), and encourages organisations to harmonise and facilitate access to this and a plethora of other resources, digital and conventional, through the model of the Hybrid Library.
