What is the importance--if any--of erotica in a library collection? When is erotica pornography? What do your patrons think? Before you find yourself in the center of this controversy, read Libraries, Erotica, & Pornography--the first in-depth examination of the issues, the solutions, and their complications. Seventeen original essays share the experiences and insights of working librarians, researchers in human sexuality, a public library administrator, and library educators as well as a leading authority on erotic literature and a popular novelist. This volume contains valuable advice on deciding a policy, handling patron objections, and responding to community pressures.
MARTHA CORNOG has written a wide range of articles on information science, librarianship, and sex, and coauthored, with Timothy Perper, teaching guides on human sexuality. She was on the board of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex and is manager of Membership Services for the American College of Physicians.
