The board here has decided to hold a special meeting next week -- will likely be Tues -- so anyone willing/able to shoot me some info over the weekend is welcome to drop by anytime for a gold star and a cup of tea. We're looking for feedback from Class 1 (and 2) libraries on CIPA and internet filtering to meet E-rate/USF standards. We're particularly interested in those with limited budgets (we run around $100,000), single- or double-person staffing, and no onsite IT. - What was your reasoning for either moving forward or declining to filter? - If you chose to filter, were there any unanticipated costs or issues during the initial set-up? - And once that was completed, what's your experience been in terms of how much staff time gets used to manage things daily? - On a weekly average, how often minors are prevented from accessing information? - Do you use either login or time management software? - Did you hold a public forum before making the switch? What's the public response been? - Do you filter your wireless? - And anything else I've not thought to ask.
