GEN: Help from all needed for research study on Internet

[Lisa Adams <LisaDAdams@AOL.COM>]

To all  LM_NET subscribers,
I am a student in the Instructional Technology Dept. at the University of
Georgia.  For my very last class (Research),  I am working on a research
project about Internet Filtering Software and Library Media Specialist's
attitudes about filtering.  I hope to collect enough data through this short
survey to make some conclusions about who is using filters, how they are
working in schools that use them, and Media Specialist's attitudes concerning
filters.

Please, will everyone take just a few minutes to copy this survey, answer the
9 short questions (it is fine to be very brief) and reply directly to me
(LisaDAdams@aol.com) so that I can analyze the results and begin writing my
report asap.  The more people to respond, the better.

I will appreciate it very much and I will post the results as a HIT if there
is interest.

It is not necessary to include your name.

*********************************

1. Are you in a public or private school?  Is it an Elementary, Middle, or
High School?  (or list grades)

2. Briefly describe your educational/certification level.

3. Does your school use Internet filtering software?

4. If so, why? (ex. my choice, committee decision, administration wanted it,
past problems, already in place when I came, etc.) If not, why not?



5. If you use an Internet filter, which brand do you use?  Would you recommend
any particular brand?


6. Describe any positive or negative results you have had using filters.
(problems solved? problems caused?)



7. Would you call your attitude about filtering more neutral, positive or
negative?

8. If you do not use filters, what method(s) do you use/suggest to discourage
inappropriate use of the Internet by students?



9. Additional comments:




Thank you for completing this survey.
