Chicken LIttle at the Reference Desk: The Myth of Librarian Liability

Paul D. Healey, William Mitchell College of Law

Abstract

Mr. Healey explores a popular theme in library literature: the fear that librarians can incur liability for activities conducted at the reference desk. He concludes that librarian liability is a myth, finding no reported court decisions or any established legal theory to support the concept.
