Adoption of Policy No. LBD-PUB-002 - Gila County Library District Internet Acceptable Use.

Background Information

LBD-PUB-002 - Gila County Library District Internet Acceptable Use revises the Acceptable Use Policy for the Internet that was adopted by the Board on November 2, 1999. To be eligible for the federal E-Rate program, Libraries and Schools are required to have an Internet Acceptable Use Policy that addresses, among other things, filtering capabilities to comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). This revision updates the statutory references and adds harassment to the list of prohibited activities.

This Policy including the Conditions of Use was presented for discussion and review at the November 1, 2022, meeting.

Evaluation

The purpose of LBD-PUB-002 - Gila County Library District Internet Acceptable Use Policy is to set forth the conditions of use and responsibilities for public access to the Library's computers and Internet services and to outline the consequences for inappropriate or illegal use of the Library computers and Internet networks. This policy speaks to the public's use and will apply to all public libraries in Gila County that connect to the Internet that is provided by the Gila County Library District. LBD-001 was adopted on April 2, 2019, and covers staff and volunteer usage of computer resources.

Conclusion

It is necessary to update and revise the Internet Acceptable Use Policy to remain in compliance with the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and updates the applicable statutory references.
