The ideal in selecting books for library media centers is to:
a. consider an individual review source and/or awardthis can suffice for a determination of whether to use the book or curricular material in a school.
b. locate several reviews or a combination of reviews and awards, read each review completely, and know exactly why the award is given and by whom.
c. read all books prior to making a decision as whether to purchase the material.
d. convene a committee of teachers, students, parents, and community members to determine the feasibility of the book for the specific school.
Question 2
Sometime when selecting materials, individuals can become censors when they fail to consider the entire work and focus only on a single dirty word or a so-called controversial passage, e.g., a sex scene, one or two uses of profanity, or a reference to one's sexual orientation. This is called:
a. indoctrinate versus educate.
b. exclusion versus inclusion.
c. isolation versus the work as a whole.
d. control versus advice.
