[WEB4LIB] Re: ALA on Children's Internet Access

[Keawe Vredenburg]

Since 98% of our patrons ARE children (K-12), I will offer that we have
a required training program for Internet, with an online test at the
end.  Students who pass sign a statement accepting terms and conditions,
these being somewhat "moral" in nature.  They then receive a signon ID
and password.   Further, the opening screen is a similar statement that
recalls the previously signed statement and further admonishes students
to stick to business.  We feel that is about the best we can do.
Responsibility is placed on, and accepted by, the student.  In your
situation, you have less control over the children, but perhaps
imparting a sense of responsibility for Internet access wouldn't hurt?
