PR Hint of the Week - March 1, 2004 - Library issues
This week's PR Hint of the Week focuses on information resources for several high-impact issues facing many libraries today: CIPA, intellectual freedom, and the economic impact of libraries in our communities. Hope you will find these resources useful!
Public libraries and the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA):
Legal Sources http://www.llrx.com/features/cipabiblio.htm
Intellectual freedom legislation in the states http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/ifissues/inthestates/statelegislation.htm
A study done by OCLC on how libraries stack up. Some great comparisons of libraries and their worth measured against other businesses. This is a neat snapshot of the economic impact of libraries.

On behalf of your hardworking MLA PR & Marketing Committee, Lisa

Addendum:
To these fine sources I'd like to suggest one more:
http://www.aclin.org/filtering. This was developed to help guide Colorado libraries, but much is applicable to any library. One item that will soon be posted is a comparison test showing how different filters stack up, i.e. how much free filters over/underblock vs. fee-based services.
