Library Cataloging
Where is the report "Filtering Software: the Religious Connection" by Nancy Willard? It would be important for many libraries to have access to it, given recent events. Library Journal has a summary available. However, all the links I find no longer work.I'm not in a public library, so I have not followed the minute details of CIPA, but I'm wondering if the Content Advisor in IE would count as a filter. It would be more under local control than off-the-shelf packages. It would be a lot of work, but if consortium pulled together, it might work. Just a thought.UPDATE Greg Weller posted a comment about an available copy. I'm copying this to the 'blog so that folks using the RSS or e-mail delivery options can have the link. Thanks Greg.
