Library Cataloging
At my recent talk I pointed folks to my FURL site for links to all the tools I discussed. I've just received a note from a school librarian saying the filter will not allow access to that site.

Commercial filtering programs also have hidden biases. A better option would be to go with an open source product like DansGuardian.
