I have a problem and in need of advice. Yesterday I was giving a =
group of freshman internet/computer training. We had gone over the =
acceptabe use policy and were in the process of learning how to use the =
magazine data base. I had the students do a search on "dogs". The =
first article that pulled up was an article from Esquire about a man who =
was having an affair with his girl friend's dog (fictional account and =
very explicit). I told the students that this was a learning experience =
and we had talked about this in AUP training. I realize that I cannot =
censor nor do I want to censor everything for my students...but I do =
feel that this crossed or is real close to being pornographic. I am =
also uptight about the situation because the article was not off the =
internet (although it is also on the online version of the =
database...just not as blatant) but on the purchased magazine database =
(CD ROM version). Any advice? Francy Rains LMS
