Kudos are in order for the London Public Library’s decision to post an online discussion forum to invite public debate on their controversial Internet filtering policy.
Librarians, please weigh in on this important discussion regarding the connection between intellectual freedom and internet filtering. Thus far, the discussion is largely one-sided in favour of filtering.
Go to Internet Filtering Pilot Project Feedback Forum.
Some quick and dirty Internet filtering references from the librarian blogosphere:
Librarian.net
A search on Libworm for both the terms “internet” and “filtering” gave back these results.
I’ll conduct a more thorough review of the arguments both pro and con in the not too distannt future - in the meantime, please use the LA blog for information sharing!
