"We value Intellectual Freedom as the right of everyone to seek out information, ideas and expressive content of any kind within the law.

We support Intellectual Freedom through a commitment to facilitating and safeguarding equitable access, privacy and an extensive range of constitutionally-protected opinions, perspectives and viewpoints." You can read it here.
