Web access in library as security risk?

[Mark Gooch]

I have understood that providing open public access to the web in a 
library can provide security risks but I have never understood what are 
those risks. I was wondering if someone might briefly describe those 
risks.  Also, I was wondering if people might comment briefly about the 
technical pros and cons of providing open public access to the web (NOT 
including the filtering/content aspect). 


Thanks
Mark
