Kids and the Internet : The Promise and the Perils

Proceedings of an NCLIS (U.S. Nat. Commission on Libraries & Information Science) Hearing held Nov. 10, 1998. After listening intently to the testimony & carefully reviewing the statements submitted for the record, the Commission determined that a broad national approach to the issues of protecting children by limiting their access to the Internet in public & school libraries was inappropriate &, very likely, unworkable. On the other hand, the Commission felt it was very much the responsibility of local governing authorities to address these issues head on & establish policies for the public & school libraries in their jurisdictions.Simon, Jeanne Hurley is the author of 'Kids and the Internet : The Promise and the Perils', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756710224 and ISBN 0756710227.
