Since ALA Midwinter 2017 just recently concluded, the links this Friday relate to ideas discussed at this year’s meeting in Atlanta. If, like me, you were unable to physically attend the meeting, I encourage you to look through all things tagged #alamw17 on Twitter to get a sense of the conversation. Reading through articles written post-ALA Midwinter, censorship and the resistance against it was a popular topic. Some of my thoughts on this topic were explored in last week’s blog post.

Next week, UNBOUND will feature a post by one of our favorite guest bloggers, Professor Laura Saunders!

1. Library Journal’s Recap of ALA Midwinter – “Not Business as Usual”
2. OIF Condemns Government Agency Censorship
3. One attendee’s reflections on how ALA 2017 “was different than others”
4. “Library Service in a World That’s Getting Closer”
5. “Less Normative Collections”

Happy October! Check out some of this week’s trending news and topics in the world of library and information science…
