Content Filtering Software for the Library

Some organizations that provide public Internet access, such as schools, libraries, and

churches, may want to make sure that webpages displayed or downloaded from the Internet

have appropriate content for their clients, including young children. As a user support

specialist at a local library, you need to learn about software utility programs that are available

to filter Internet content. Research this category and then write a memo to the head librarian

that explains how content filtering software works. In your memo, describe the pros and cons

of using content filter utilities as a tool in a library.
