Internet Filter issue

You may have seen something in the general press or in ALIA publications about the federal government proposing Internet filters on Internet computers in public libraries.
Here is the latest from the ALIA InfoLit Forum


Dear Colleagues,
Late yesterday ALIA issued a response to Minister Coonan's announcement of the Protecting Families Online program - more information is linked from the ALIA Home at http://www.alia.org.au/
You may also wish to revisit our 2005 survey on Internet Use in Public Libraries http://alia.org.au/advocacy/internet.access/
Today the Sydney Morning Herald gives the community the opportunity to comment via the web on Internet Filters. You may also wish to add your comments to http://blogs.smh.com.au/newsblog/archives//004955.html
Regards
Sue Hutley
