Censorship-Filters in Libraries
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 3 page research paper that examines the use of censorship-filters on public-access computers in libraries. For libraries throughout the country that wish to continue to receive federal funding, it is no longer a question of whether or not to employ censorship-filters on at least some their public access computers, it is simply a question of implementation. This is due to the Supreme Court decision to uphold the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) (What's next, 2004). Censorship-filters are here to stay on children's computers in libraries (What's next, 2004). On that, there is no debate as the public, as well as Congress, are demanding censorship in regards to children's use of the Internet. However, it is still questionable as to whether or not all library computers should have filters installed. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
