Censorship or selection

Also ripped from the "H20 lib blog": an insightful discussion of the semantic difference between "selection" and "censorship" in the language of LibraryLand.

I'm rather forcibly reminded of the reference supervisor who refused to "select" A Clockwork Orange for the library -- even as a donation! -- or permit it to be requested through interlibrary loan, despite multiple requests, because "young people shouldn't be reading such trash."
