Title |
IMHBCO (in my humble but correct opinion) - academic libraries and the "Arming America" problem: a response to Steve McKinzie |
Date |
2009 |
Description |
McKinzie is careful in his recommendations: although he is deeply concerned about the "host of unwary readers" who may find in the stacks "a terribly misleading book that bases its arguments on fabricated data and deliberately misconstrued research," he emphasizes at the same time that he is not suggesting "that as librarians we should buy and retain only those books whose analysis is thorough-going and scholarly." His argument is focused more specifically on books which have been clearly demonstrated to be intellectually dishonest and factually misleading. Such books are not merely shoddy but actively harmful and, he says, should be "summarily jettison(ed)... from our collections." |
