The CIPA Effect on Funding
7:19 PM EDT 10/9/04
With the recent CIPA decision, I thought it timely to alert librarians of a good online resource on how this decision affects funding and technology. The following discusses federal grants (LSTA), E-rate, or federal funds distributed via a consortium, network, or system. You will need to search for "CIPA FAQ" at

The site was developed by Bob Bocher of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Public Library Development, with some assistance from statewide library E-rate coordinators from all over the U.S. It has been adapted to reflect the Massachusetts library environment.
For future reference, a library seeking a grant with specific technology requirements, might consider including the purchase of computer equipment, or costs of establishing a network, and etc. as a CASH COST ? SHARE item, thereby retaining library control over the use of those items, if possible.

Also something to consider, many states and OCLC regional service providers are beginning to offer workshops on CIPA/e-rate/funding issues which are tied up with a nice bow called filtering.
Check out this link to look at workshops offererd via the numerous regional service providers but remember to check out your own State Library to see if they are offering workshops on this topic. Remember, knowledge is power!
