I would be interested in seeing the list of filtering programs which were evaluated.

For those who are keeping score in the filtering wars...

The Warren (MI) Library commission has decided not to use filtering
software, noting that the software failed to live up to expectations and
censored material that it should not have.

City Council members in support of filtering software suggested that the
names of those who accessed pornography be posted in the local
newspaper(note: it is illegal under city ordinance to access pornography
in the library...but who said politicians were rationale ;) ).
