NCLIS Brochure on Internet Now Available
Staff -- Library Journal, 2/22/1999
The National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS), which distributed at the ALA's Midwinter Meeting copies of its brochure on the Internet and minors, has now made that brochure available to the library community at large. Those interested may call the NCLIS office at (202) 606-9200, or download it from the NCLIS website in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). The brochure was developed following an NCLIS hearing November 10, 1998 on "Kids and the Internet: the Promise and the Perils". While NCLIS lists various tactics for libraries to employ, the commission does not order them by preference, and it specifically has opposed mandatory federal filtering legislation.
