[OPLINTECH] Internet Filtering & Networking.

[JKENZIG]

We aren't using it here at CCPL but I am using Cybersitter at my home for my
children and it allows you to easily turn off and on blocking and you can
even schedule when filtering is enabled or disabled.

They have a business version which also can be controlled via a server.
This is the only product I have found so far that easily does it on a
workstation level but can be controlled from a server.

I'm the technology coordinator for the Carnegie Public Libraries in Fayette
County. In response to the upcoming filtering legislation we're looking into
adding filtering to our network. We currently have a NT network and a
Sonicwall Firewall appliance.  I was wondering what filtering solutions
other libraries are using successfully. My biggest concern is the easy of
use for my staff. The one big difficultly we see is inconvenience of
switching filtering off and on for "Adults" by request.  
 
Also, our library is looking to upgrade our servers to a Windows 2000/03
systems.  I'd like to know if there are any good network companies in the
Columbus/Dayton area that are familiar with Library networking needs, and
filtering.
 
Any Help would be great. Please email me directly.
