Today's NY Times has an article entitled "ACLU Attacks Filter Software in Libraries" at http://www.nytimes.com/library/cyber/law/082197law.html

It contains some quotes from that noted constitutional law scholar, David Burt:
 
	David Burt, a public librarian from Lake Oswego, Ore., thinks that by
          offering patrons use of an Internet terminal, the library has not
          "acquired" the contents of the Internet. Rather, the library has offered its
          patrons a means to access off-site materials, in the same way it might
          offer patrons an inter-library loan program or the use of a television. 

          "There's a big difference between removing a book and choosing not to
          provide access to material that's remote from the library," said Burt,
          founder of Filtering Facts, a nonprofit corporation that promotes the use
          of filtering software by libraries. "When I went to college, the library
          there had TVs that only got CNN and PBS. Everything else was
          blocked. Nobody said that was censorship."
