Hi all,
We block some sites on our campuses which prompted the emailed comment below
and made me curious as to what policies/procedures were being used by other
FVLC libraries... You can reply to me and not the whole list. Also, hope you
all enjoy the holiday weekend :)
'Have any of you heard, possibly through your librarians, that students are
becoming frustrated with the filters that we have on our campus computers when
conducting research on Internet sites? Recently we have had students who were
blocked while trying to access the KKK website for a research paper on racism,
one who was blocked from searching numerous LGBT sites while conducting
research for a diversity paper, and one who was trying to access several
pharmaceutical sites for a pharmacology paper.'
