Re: GEN: N.H. courts allows turn over of Internet logs

[Dawn Sardes <Dmsardes@AOL.COM>]

What is meant by internet access logs?  Are they sort of like Lincoln Logs?

Seriously though,

Is the person wanting to peruse the cache or temporary internet files folder
on the PC, or is there actually a written log where students sign up to
access the net?

It's my understanding that the public has the right to view any and all
records that are maintained, but they have no right to compel us to maintain
a record we do not have use for.

I would make it a policy that the cache is cleared after each use and, for a
written record, the name is obliterated, with the sheet destroyed after each
period or half-day or day.
