This article discusses a University of Illnois Library Research Center survey of 1,181 people, which focussed on library services, materials, goverance & financial support. It found that most of the public did not support full access to books that describe how to commit suicide. Only 10% of the public felt they should be available to anyone, & 71% said they should not be in the library at all. Conversely, of the librarians sampled, 66% felt such books should be available to anyone. (VM)
