Library Internet Filtering
Frankly, I think the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Children's Internet Protection Act case was wrong.
It is virtually always wrong to censor information, especially in a library. But that is how the law in the United States stands at the moment and if a library accepts federal funding it must install internet filtering technology on all of its internet enabled computers.
This website is about a particular internet filtering product IF 2K and its application to libraries.
This product is flexible, publishes its block list, is reasonably priced and it can be configured to meet library's particular requirements.
It is not a perfect solution but it is inexpensive and, with librarians' input, the least obnoxious filtering solution on the market.
