A feature/opinion piece calling for librarians to remain true to the principles of providing accurate and factual information. The author asks “... are our efforts to promote intellectual freedom--a diehard dogma in library science, which resists all forms of censorship--also a cover? Does our total commitment to intellectual freedom stand even if it means sacrificing those other stated values of public good, democracy, and social responsibility?” Johnson cogently describes the high stakes factors involved with ‘fake news’ and ‘information wars’.
