Libraries should be about educating and guiding users to be smart and make their own decisions when accessing online resources.<BR/><BR/>If we rely on a third party to dictate the terms by which our users are able to access resources, how do we control where that line is drawn?<BR/><BR/>I mean, a lot of the research seems to indicate that the far biggest danger about the internet isn't pornography, or violent images, but other people. In that case, do we block access to instant messaging, social networking sites, etc?<BR/><BR/>Will the library managers even have a say as to what is accessible in public libraries, and what isn't?lib_idolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887547089876625807noreply@blogger.com
