<div>Hello and good morning,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I’m trying to get a handle on if and how other CTCs are filtering internet access. We have a fairly restrictive filter at Peninsula, which coming from a university environment is frankly shocking to me, but our IT director is convinced that this is how
it’s done at the community and technical college level. At least once a week I or a student in the library run up against a blocked site, mostly due to the way the site is set up to redirect or sometimes because of a blacklist, but other times because of content
(eek! Major intellectual freedom concerns!).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you let me know if/how filtering is done at your campus?<br>
</div>
<div>Thanks so much,</div>
<div>Samantha</div>
