Hoy, miércoles, 30 de septiembre de 2009, compartimos la vida y carrera excepcional de la estrella del béisbol puertorriqueño, Roberto Clemente, en un video de PBS.
Rescatar la historia en libraries through a video is a process that information units can appraise and make it their own, through special projects to preserve and make accessible to this and future generations.
In recent days have publicly discussed the unusual action of the Department Education of Puerto Rico in relation to the guideline issued to task for "inappropriate" works of high literary value of Puerto Rican authors the likes of Luis Rafael Sánchez, José Luis González, Juan Antonio Ramos, among others, and in particular Aura work the Mexican Carlos Fuentes.
The Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948 \u0026lt; http://www.un.org/es/documents/udhr/ > Organization United Nations states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression: this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to their opinions, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers, by any means of expression. "
In addition, the Code of Ethics of the American Library Association (2008, 1995 \u0026lt; http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/statementspols/codeofethics/ coespanishversion / spanishversion.cfm >), an organization of which the school belongs, provides in Article II, that: "We uphold the principles intellectual freedom and resist all efforts to censor library resources. "
Graduate School of Science and Information Technology, University of Puerto Rico, adheres to tenets of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Code of Ethics of the American Library Association. The school is committed as stated in its 2016 Mission to "contribute to policy development and services that promote equitable access to information to build a knowledge society. "
The elimination of these works for the Department of Education of Puerto Rico contradict the inalienable right of everyone to freedom and undermines one of the main functions of librarians, particularly those who work in school libraries. is inherent in the role and responsibility of this professional group to defend and facilitate equitable access to information and encouraging environment for the development of skills that include developing the ability to discern to the information received, applying critical thinking in the process of constructing new knowledge.
Graduate School of Information Sciences and Technologies reaffirms the principles of equitable access to information and reject this act of censorship, and others that may occur in our educational institutions. We demand the immediate return of access to these and all the works that will undoubtedly contribute to the enrichment of our young people in their academic training and as human beings.
hope that actions like this are not repeated, without an dialogue process fair, responsible and ethical. We urge the Department of Education to ensure the best interests of our school communities and people in general, without restricting the inalienable right that every human being assists.
