Washington DC
January 10th, 2001I was in DC last week for the American Library Association conference. It was an interesting and depressing time to be there; the mall is trailer-stroon in preparation for W. His is a victory for medeocracy.
The big doings at ALA this year revolved around the new filtering laws. Libraries with e-rate funding for Internet access or IMLS funding will be required by law to employ “technological protection measures” against dirty pictures and the like. I’ll have more on this later.
