As the internet continues to grow as a force in people’s lives, the public is becoming increasingly concerned about the risks associated with its ubiquitous use. Compliance issues such as CIPA bring an added level of responsibility to libraries and schools to ensure the online safety and security of the students they serve. In this session, participants discuss the current state of internet risks and the need for a comprehensive solution that combines awareness and education with technology, common sense, and critical thinking. The panelists provide a case-study review of their organizations’ collaborative initiatives to educate and increase public awareness and outline ways that others can join in this effort.
