I thought this week's discussion about internet security was interesting. It was interesting to see the wide variety of issues that fall into that category - protecting private information to inappropriate sites to internet predators. I can see how as a librarian balancing the right to access with protecting children from inappropriate sites could be very difficult. This issue has been a hot topic on LM_NET recently. Many librarians were discussing the librarian who was recently fired for notifying police that a patron in her public library was viewing child porn. She violated the right to privacy. Its a sticky issue.
Once again I enjoyed getting together with my group. This group project has been interesting. We've had to figure out how to write a paper together when we don't have much opportunity to get together. I think we've solved the problem by dividing the paper into sections and writing it on a wiki, so we can see what each person is doing. This has truly been a cooperative effort. Usually, there is a dominant person in a group project, but that has not been the case with this group. We all think about things differently. Some of us are technical, some of us are creative, and some of us are problem-solvers.
