ALA Editions announces an exciting free AL Live interactive webcast, Filtering: The Man in the Middle, with Doug Archer, Bob Bocher, Deborah Caldwell-Stone, Jamie LaRue and Michael Robinson. This interactive webcast will last one hour and take place at 2 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, Sept. 15, 2016.
Thanks to the good work of the ALA's Washington Office and others, there may be far more money available to libraries through the federal E-rate program. To take advantage of that, however, libraries must first adopt an internet safety policy that includes "technology protection measures"-filtering. This panel will address the details of the E-rate expansion, summarize the history of ALA and filtering, raise some new issues about specific filtering approaches and offer practical suggestions for libraries who may wish to pursue this new funding opportunity.

See http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2016/08/filtering-man-middle-al-live-interactive-webcast  for more info.  The webinar is free but registration is required.  (Registration link is in above page.)
