Reintroducing FLIF!

Future Librarians for Intellectual Freedom, or FLIF, is a student organization at the University of Alberta. As graduate students pursuing Master’s degrees in Library and Information Studies, the group’s mission is to encourage freedom of expression and social responsibility, while rejecting censorship, within the library and information studies field and beyond.

The organization was originally founded in 2004, but after a few years of decline, it is being revitalized with the help of the 2023/2024 cohorts. Beginning in the Fall 2024 semester, the group is working towards reviving the organization, its website, its communication channels, and starting our newsletter!
