    Welcome to Julie Shen dotcom
    ALA statement about use of force in UCLA library (12/14/2006)

    Yesterday the ALA president sent a letter to the UCLA chancellor about the Nov 14 incident in which Mostafa Tabatabainejad, an Iranian student, was Tased by university police in the library.

    "We applaud your decision to conduct an independent investigation ... but also urge you to reexamine your security practices ... [ALA's] Bill of Rights states that a person's right to use a library should not be abridged because of origin, age, background or views. We hope that UCLA and all its campus libraries honor this basic tenet of library service."
