David Cohen, 105, professor emeritus of Queens (N.Y.) College Graduate School of Library and Information Studies, died February 6. Cohen received ALA’s Honorary Membership in 2007 in recognition of his contributions to multicultural librarianship and intellectual freedom. He was an advocate for the need for ethnic and foreign language materials for decades, co-founding the ALA Social Responsibilities Round Table’s Task Force on Ethnic Materials (which ultimately became the Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table) and chairing ALA’s Committee on the Treatment of Minorities in Library Materials in 1967. ALA created the David Cohen Multicultural Award in 1999. He also worked in both ALA and the New York Library Association to support intellectual freedom. NYLA awarded him its Intellectual Freedom Award in 1986, and the Freedom to Read Foundation inducted him to its Roll of Honor in 2005.
