[LIBRARYDIR] Internet filtering?

[Vivienne Mcclendon]

No filter at BC nor any college I ever worked at in any state including several community colleges from Georgia to Nevada.

Say what?!!!  No, I’m not aware of any other college filtering internet access.  Well, other than Peninsula now.  Wow…

I would pitch a hissy fit over that one!

Hello and good morning,

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!).

Can you let me know if/how filtering is done at your campus?
Thanks so much,
Samantha
