At long last, here is the definitive practical guide to sexuality
materials in libraries and an annotated bibliography of nearly 600
recommended books for school and public libraries. Cornog and
Perper, the preeminent experts on sexuality materials for
libraries, provide guidelines for materials selection, reference,
processing, access, programming, and dealing with problems of
vandalism and censorship. The bibliography, organized into 5 topics
and 48 subtopics, annotates a collection of recommended books and
nonprint materials on sexuality information for children and
adults, most published since 1985. Recommended works represent a
wide variety of views, including Christian and conservative. Part I
offers detailed guidance for selecting and processing sexuality
materials, including vertical files, audiovisuals, and periodicals,
and for doing reference on sexuality topics; lists a full range of
topics and viewpoints that libraries should collect; addresses a
variety of processing and access issues such as cataloging,
programming, and vandalism; discusses how to deal with censorship
issues relating to sexuality materials in the library; and reviews
the history of libraries and sexuality materials. Part II, the
annotated bibliography, is organized into 5 broad topics-sexuality
and behavior, homosexuality and gender issues, life cycle issues,
sex and society, and sexual problems-which are then divided into 48
subtopics. Each title is compared and contrasted with similar
titles. Titles for young people include grade level
appropriateness. Specialized acquisition sources are also listed
for each of the 48 subtopics. Cornog and Perper point out that the
key to selection of materials is balance and representativeness of
a wide range of viewpoints. They have gone to great lengths to
provide a wide variety of materials and viewpoints and to seek out
interesting and valuable materials from large and small publishers
and organizations. This is the definitive guide on sexuality
information for public and school libraries.
