This librarian is a bad librarian who must have dumped whatever he or she learned as part of their MLS program. Librarians are against filtering, they are against censorship, it is written into the code of ethics of the American Library Association. Librarians understand the chilling effect that privacy intrusions create. Protecting the privacy of library patrons is a central tenet of being a librarian and in my opinion this librarian needs to have an attitude change or lose their job. http://www.ala.org/advocacy/proethics/codeofethics/codeethics http://www.ala.org/advocacy/proethics/codeofethics/codeethic... http://www.ala.org/advocacy/privacyconfidentiality http://www.ala.org/advocacy/privacyconfidentiality Librarians fight censorship and privacy intrusions, they stand up for their patrons and fight school boards and other government agencies. They have fought the controversial patriot act provisions that required revealing library records to law enforcement without informing the affected patrons. This librarian makes me so mad.
