How can libraries provide Internet access and still maintain the control necessary to prevent abuse? Nearly all libraries that offer Internet access have some kind of Internet use policy, but their policies may differ greatly. Some are highly regulated, some lenient, and some change from day to day to cover situations as they occur. A few academic libraries have use policies that are set by their computing facilities. Actual Internet use policy statements may be found on several web sites listed below: Useful Resources for Public Libraries Security is a big issue in controlling the Internet. Some software programs (such as Fortress) kAP people from accessing certain areas. Certain areas can be manually closed to patrons or disabled to thwart hack-ers. However, it is a challenge to some people to defeat any kind of security measures.

In March 2009 Clay Shirky posted the essay, “Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable,” on his blog and in July 2011 he posted a second essay “Why We Need the New News Environment to be Chaotic.” These two essays are concerned with the newspapers and the news, but taken together they provide useful insights for academic librarians. Newspapers and libraries are in many ways quite different, but they share a common heritage, both born out of the technology of the printing press and its 19th century industrialization. Similar technologies drove economic and organizational structures and the values of libraries and newspapers. Both face similar challenges as the Internet unwinds their economic and technical underpinnings and by doing so stresses organizations and the professional values that have sustained them.

At a recent public forum at a small New Jersey library, local citizens told strategic planners that they were pleased with their access to a diversity of resources and programs offered by the library. But they also voiced concerns about the loss of access to local information now that the community’s biweekly newspaper ceased publication. Moreover, they expressed a desire to go beyond traditional library programming so they could interact with each other about local concerns no longer communicated through trusted local media. No doubt, forum attendees recognize the essential role of information to participation in community life -a role well-articulated by the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy (Knight Commission, 2009). In its 2009 report, the Commission stated, “The time has come for new thinking and aggressive action to ensure the information opportunities of America’s people, the information health of its communities, and the information vitality of our democracy” (Knight Commission, 2009, p. 1). In an era when citizens yearn for more participation in civic life, traditional news media have abandoned local communities in New Jersey and beyond. Understandably, some have turned to libraries to fill the information and engagement voids left in their communities.

In 1989 an anonymous bequest of nearly 15 million was made to The Indianapolis Foundation, creating the Library Fund, which would be used to support Marion County libraries. This group, which would come to be called The Indianapolis Foundation Library Partners, was made up of the Indianapolis Marion County Public Library (IMCPL); the libraries of all of the public, private, and parochial high schools in Marion County; and the libraries of Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), Marian College, and the University of Indianapolis. The donor stipulated that that The Indianapolis Foundation "shall give preference to projects which cannot be met by the operating budgets of the recipient institutions." Further, the donor expressed a hope that, "in exercising its discretion, the Foundation will emphasize provision of books and other library materials rather than the employment of personnel and the construction of buildings. "' Thus the proceeds of the Library Fund were to be used for new, innovative, and collaborative projects. Core library operation expenses and building projects were excluded. This remarkable gift created a resource, now valued at approximately $25 million and producing approximately $1.25 million a year, that is truly unique. Since its beginning in 1989, the Library Fund has made over $16 million in grants to Marion County libraries. This resource in turn fostered a collaborative environment among the libraries and librarians in Marion County that is also unique.
