Filtering on Internet Patron PCs in Order to Receive E-rate grants in 2016 and Beyond

Beginning in 2016, libraries will be eligible for substantial new E-rate funds to offset internet and wireless costs (infrastructure and bandwidth fees).  This means that libraries will need to comply with the CIPA filtering requirements in order to qualify for the E-rate funds. Up to 50% of annual network hardware = $38,000 (or more) Up to 50% of wireless equipment Possibly ongoing internet fees

Here is the FAQ on the CIPA filtering requirements for libraries to receive E-rate http://pld.dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/imce/pld/pdf/cipafaq.pdf

Potential questions to discuss: Would you considering complying with the CIPA filtering requirements in

order to be eligible for E-rate grants beginning in 2016? Would your library be able to adhere to the guidelines which include:

Provide the ability to disable filtering for adults over 17 upon request Potentially identify adults-only PCs on which filtering can be disabled Create an Internet Safety Policy that is compliant with CIPA "Provide reasonable public notice and hold at least one public hearing or meeting to

address the proposed Internet safety policy."

Storage and Retrieval of Digital MaterialsSCLS is sometimes asked if we will “host” digitized local materials. As of right now, SCLS does not provide this service. Even if SCLS were to host digitized materials, there is the issue of providing easy access to these materials, preferably through LINKcat. There are solutions available, but most are not free of charge. Demo of PTFS Digital Library Service

Potential questions to discuss: Would libraries like SCLS to provide a solution to both host

and provide access to digitized local materials (preferably through LINKCat)?

If SCLS provides a solution, would libraries be willing to contribute to the storage fees?

How Can SCLS Help Libraries Help Their Patrons with Technology?A common theme from the SCLS annual library visits in 2014 was the need for libraries to be able to train their patrons on many different types of technology. SCLS does not train patrons directly, but we may be able to help libraries be better prepared to help patrons. We are already planning a session for the upcoming Technology Day.  Potential questions to discuss:

In what areas do patrons need help with technology?How can SCLS help libraries help their patrons?

Other IdeasIn what other new ways can SCLS help libraries in 2016 and beyond?
