SEC: blocking software

[Betsy Blum <bblum@sierratel.com>]

Greetings
In two weeks school opens and I will have 18 new computers in the
library all connected to the interent.  After speaking to a board member
I am getting nervous about my choice of not putting a blocking or
filtering software like CyberPatrol on these computers.  This is a very
conservative, fundementalist Christian community.  What programs have
you been using?  How successful are they?  Are they easily by-passed by
students?  Does is satisfy parents? Administrators?  Which program would
you recommend?  I did review the archives but would like more
information.  I'm also updating my AUP.

On the brighter side I am starting a library club and Cyber Cafe in the
library that the students will manage.  We are working with a local
coffee house and they are leasing us a professional expresso maker and
teaching us how to make mochas, lattes, etc.  This is also making me
nervous but it will be exciting to to try a little Barnes and Nobles
marketing in the LMC.

Thanks for your help
