    Controlling the Internet
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 1997) Abell, Carol; Hobgood, Jill
    How can libraries provide Internet access and still maintain the control necessary to prevent abuse? Nearly all libraries that offer Internet access have some kind of Internet use policy, but their policies may differ greatly. Some are highly regulated, some lenient, and some change from day to day to cover situations as they occur. A few academic libraries have use policies that are set by their computing facilities.

    Internet Policies & Standards in Indiana Public Libraries
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 1997) Short, Anne Marie
    This paper was a result of the author's search for information about issues of intellectual freedom, particularly as it relates to public libraries in Indiana and the Internet. Recent articles in library journals and newspapers have pointed out the need for librarians to be aware of community concerns regarding the availability of "pornography" or "obscenity" on the Internet.

    Internet Programming at the Small Public Library
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 1997) Bell, Vicky L.; Williams, Michael Alan, 1963-
    Successful library programming of any sort requires the cooperation of everyone involved. Attempting to present something as complex as the Internet involves the highest degree of cooperation possible. Through two different programs presented at the West Indianapolis Branch of the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library (I-MCPL), the subject of the Internet in general, and the Wold Wide Web in particular, was introduced and explained to a variety of program attendees. Both programs were presented by librarians working together to convey accurate and relevant information gained from personal experiences as both information professionals and end users of Internet access services.
