Censorship in a Box
American Civil Liberties Union White Paper subtitled 'Why Blocking Software is Wrong for Public
Libraries'. "This special report ... provides an in depth look at why mandatory blocking
software is both inappropriate and unconstitutional in libraries. [It does] not evaluate any
particular product, but rather seek[s] to demonstrate how all blocking software censors valuable
speech and gives librarians, educators and parents a false sense of security when providing minors
with Internet access."

Filtering the Internet in American Public Libraries: Sliding Down the Slippery Slope
Essay by Jeannette Allis Bastian. "The use of filters to block those Internet sites that some
public libraries and/or communities deem undesirable has caused an uproar within the profession as
various viewpoints vie for ascendancy. The author examines positions taken by the American Library
Association and others and reviews the choices and consequences of various filtering products. She
concludes that libraries must retain responsibility for their offerings but also protect First
Amendment rights."

The Internet Filter Assessment Project
The purpose of this project was to take a hard look at Internet content filters from a librarian's
point of view. Several dozen librarians from around the world participated. Some are filter
proponents; some are not. All believe you don't know a tool until you test it. The summary report
is online; the full report is available for purchase.
