Hello,
Just a quick query. I am interested to know what academic institutions
(particularly FE colleges) do about filtering Internet access for students.
*Do you use Internet filtering software?
*Is it shareware software or is it a commercial product?
*Was the library involved in the implementation of filtering software or was
it done at an institutional level?
*Have you had any experiences with the use of filtering software adversely
effecting students use of the Internet and electronic databases?
*If your institution does filter, how does this sit with the LA's policy
statement on the use of filtering software in libraries?
If there is suitable response or demand I will summarise results for the
list.
Thanks
Ellie
