Now that I have my two books completed one of the tasks on my "to do" list is to write an article on the legal issues of this. I will let you know. Watch out for categories that block access to controversial materials -- especially sexual orientation, safe sex, and non-traditional religion. In my opinion all librarians should ability and authority to temporarily override the filter to provide access. And I think this is a requirement under the language of the Supreme Court in the CIPA case.
