Difficult Choices: Filtering in Libraries

Panel: Ryan Claringbole, Department of Public Instruction, Madison; Vicki Teal Lovely, South Central Library System, Madison; Greg Barniskis, South Central Library System, Madison

Filtering internet in libraries is not a simple decision. While many libraries choose not to filter the internet for many different reasons, it prevents them from being CIPA compliant and being able to apply for E-rate funds and certain kinds of equipment in LSTA grants. Join these presenters in an open debate to discuss the pros and cons of filtering and if it is something that should be looked at (maybe again and again).
