This article answers many questions about filtering requirements under CIPA. I located it using the Education Research Complete database through MCC. Most of the information is related to a Supreme Court ruling, and the effect it had on libraries. The author’s credentials qualify him as a reliable source for this topic. The article will help me identify those libraries that are affected by the law.

This brief article gives examples of libraries that decided to give up their federal funding rather than implementing filtering. The author writes frequently about this topic in American Libraries, and he also gives specific details about some libraries that installed filters.

This article from Opposing Viewpoints goes into great detail about many of the shortcomings of Internet filtering software. The author is a teacher, and has strong feelings about the issue. His points are valid, and he offers an extensive list of resources for more information.

This article is presented by Opposing Viewpoints, and the author has a strong bias toward filtering. He was the president of Morality in Media when the article was written. There are strong assertions having to do with children’s exposure to pornography, but not many facts to back them up. It gives me a good idea about the opinions of the pro-filtering element of society.

In my opinion it's a step in the right direction but it needs refining to make the system more efficient and less of hassle where it doesn't need to be. The real problem is in the students themselves who dick around on Myspace and pornography sites when their at school and they end up just making everyone else's life difficult.
Well on my topic i am a half i assume . I am for research on the medical treatment (therapeutic cloning) yet against the destructive cloning.
On your topic i agree with a control button for those in control at public facilities and i agree with semperfidelis on many students abuse internet and waste time you only get once in life.
