PR Hint of the Week - March 1, 2004 - Websites for CIPA, IF, Economic impacts

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.
