The Blocked Blog (Or Websense And The Technical Colleges' Fight For Academic Freedom), Carol Stanley, Jerry Stovall

Georgia Library Quarterly

The article provides information on the results of a survey of technical college libraries in Georgia regarding the use of Websense filtering software. The survey was conducted by Jerry Stovall, director of library and media services at South Georgia Technical College in Americus. The objective of the survey is to determine what subject categories are blocked at each institution. The survey results reveal that disparity among the colleges as some colleges block more categories than others, usually depending on the disposition of the information technology staff.
