Abstract

Every institution that offers Internet service should have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) in place before allowing access to its system in order to protect not only the institution itself, but also its Internet service provider. AUPs are difficult for librarians because they are fraught with intellectual freedom issues. All AUPs, however, regardless of institutional affiliation, should contain these 4 components: mission statement, service provider, clientele, and disclaimer. Discusses the issues which libraries must address in drawing up UAPs, including privacy, anonymity, user education and the consequences of AUP violation. All these issues should be discussed at length and decisions made before Internet access, especially electronic mail opportunities, is offered to staff and patrons
