Abstract Contrary to the popular image of the librarian as a passive organiser of books and other forms of print, librarians are and have been active selectors, collectors, and disseminators of print and print culture. As such, they serve as gatekeepers for their communities. In addition, librarians have included ‘children’s book reviewer’ among their professional titles, serving as gatekeepers for readers at large and as de facto literary agents, and have inspired and nurtured poets and authors. Marilla Waite Freeman exemplified each of these roles in her nearly seventy years as a librarian. She was known for acquiring and promoting new forms of literature and opposing censorship, using motion pictures to encourage the reading of books, and lecturing and writing on modern library service, producing speeches and essays which were required reading in library schools of the day. She is identified as the model and inspiration for the librarian Helen Raymond in Floyd Dell’s novel Moon-Calf and was a long-time friend of John Masefield, Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom. This paper will explore the ways in which her career exemplifies the librarian as literary muse and as gatekeeper and disseminator of print culture in the community.

Abstract This article describes the work of debunkers, people who call out fake facts and ‘correct’ the record. While we are familiar with many of the journalists today who are carrying out this important work of debunking fake political claims, there is a long history since the eighteenth century in the United States that has involved a long list of colourful and unexpected figures, including the carnival showman P. T. Barnum, the escape artist Harry Houdini, the humorist Mark Twain, the promoter of the weird Robert Ripley, the actor Orson Welles, the astronomer and television showman Carl Sagan, the popular science writer Martin Gardner, and the magicians Penn & Teller. This debunking practice has also been carried out by institutions such as the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, the Committee for Sceptical Inquiry and the Sceptics Society. While this paper focuses on the United States, there are parallel developments in many other parts of the world.
