Internet Policies: Managing in the Real World. [and] One Library's Approach: Pornography? Not in Our Library!

Hyman, Karen; Field, Dorothy

American Libraries, v28 n10 p60,62-63 Nov 1997

There are no foolproof solutions to Internet access in libraries. This article lists selected library solutions, what not to do, and what to do: pick a common-sense approach, focus on customer service, keep an open mind, avoid accepting or repeating hearsay, and find common ground. Includes highlights of the Orange County (FL) Library System's decision to block access to pornography. (PEN)
