CIPA and Filtering
In recent years, filtering library computers has been a very important topic. Many libraries that receive funding from sources such as E-rate are required to filter the computers in their library and stay in compliance with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).
This section explores CIPA and how libraries are filtering—and why some libraries are choosing not to filter. If you are interested in sample Internet Use policies or filtering policies, you can also find those in this section. And remember, you can help other libraries by sharing your experiences and policies.
