Libraries exist to preserve a record of human history and behavior, among other purposes. Colleges and universities exist to help students and scholars understand human history and behavior. Many aspects of human life can be disagreeable or offensive. Accordingly, the collections of the library may include some offensive materials because they are part of the human record. The existence of these materials do not indicate an endorsement of the materials themselves or the perspectives that led to their creation. Nor do those materials indicate the current state or views of Barton College. If you have questions or concerns about the materials in the collections of the Hackney Library, please contact Associate Professor Robert Cagna, Dean of Hackney Library, at rcagna@barton.edu.
