Sex in the library.

ESZENYI Miklós

In line with developments for a democratic society in Hungary, an increasing number of sex-centered and pornographic publications have appeared on the market. The author presents his view concerning the availability of these publications in the library. Librarians generally refuse to collect and catalogue such material, however, pornographic literature cannot be definitely regarded as “trash", because it could help the development of proper sexual attitudes, increase readership and promote education in psychology and sociology. A thorough bibliography on the topic is also given. (pp. 572-576)
