Abstract

Reports on a US teleconference entitled 'National Issues, Local Decisions: Libraries, the Internet, and the First Amendment' held on 17 Oct 1997. The context for the debate was the First Amendment in the US Bill of Rights, which ensures that the federal government will not create or maintain an orthodoxy of thought or belief. Issues discussed included: whethger public libraries should restrict Internet access or allow free access to all; factors which differentiate the Internet as a resource such as its visual nature, the lack of mediation and its international nature; legal implications or restricting access; and software tools that can be used to control children's access to the Web. Libraries should support community debate on this issue and take a leadership role in educating their communities on issues surrounding the use of technology in libraries

Abstract

The widespread adoption of Internet protocols has made it easier for libraries to link together in consortia and pool their resources effectively. Describes three Web sites which provide information of interest to librarians looking to form a consortium. The Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries' (CARL) homepage provides a link to a brief history of the consortium, its strategic plan and its publications. The World wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international industry consortium, founded in October 1994 to develop common protocols that will promote the evolution of the Web and guarantee its interoperability. W3C provides information about the Web for developers and users. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) is a project committed to making the Web accessible to people with disabilities and is of interest to librarians since it fits their own mission of filling ht einformation needs of all users
