The intent of this policy is to meet the provisions of Sections 9-7-213, 9-7-215, and 9-7-216, Utah Code Annotated, 1953 as amended (UCA), and Utah Administrative Rule R223-2, as well as provide guidelines for patrons and staff regarding Internet accessible and online computer use. Developed under the direction of the Library Board of the Price City Library, this Internet and Online Access Policy was discussed and adopted during an open meeting of the Library Board on May 14, 2013. This policy supersedes all previous Internet and Online Access Policy statements of the Price City Library and is effective on July 1, 2013. As a matter of policy, the Price City Library will abide by all laws governing or regulating Internet use as such legislation relates to library policy or service. This Policy document will be reviewed by the Price City Library Board at least every three years, and a copy of the new policy will be sent to the Utah State Library Division as required by Administrative Rule R223-2. Legal requirements: The Price City Library's Internet Access Policy complies with Section 9-7-215, UCA, Internet and online access policy required, and Section 9-7-216, UCA, Process and content standards for policy, as well as reporting procedures established by Utah Administrative Rule R223-2. The Price City Library has in place a policy of Internet safety for minors, including the operation of a technology protection measure, hereafter called 'filtering software,' on any publicly accessible computer with Internet access that makes significant efforts to protect against access to visual depictions that are pornography, materials harmful to minors, or obscene (as defined by state and federal legislation). The filtering software will be enforced to provide Internet safety during any use of a computer by all users. (NOTE: Filtering software relies on such things as black lists and keywords to filter sites. We have implemented significant measures to filter inappropriate content but we cannot guarantee that all inappropriate sites will be blocked. Inappropriate sites recognized internally will be blocked when discovered. The Price City Library has in place a policy of Internet safety, including the operation of a technology protection measure on any publicly accessible computer with Internet access that protects against access to visual depictions that are pornography or obscene. The filtering software will be enforced to provide Internet safety during any use of a computer. Library policy restricts access to Internet sites that contain visual depictions that are pornography, harmful to minors or obscene, and may also limit Internet access or otherwise protect against materials other than the materials specified by Utah law. Filtering software will provide Internet safety for all library computers connected to the Internet. However, an authorized library representative may disable a technology protection measure at the request of an adult patron to enable Internet access for research or other lawful purposes. The Library Board has approved the use of Faronics Win Select and Faronics Deep Freeze which function behind our Sonic Wall NSA 2400. The Library Board has disapproved the use of public access Internet computers for gambling, commercial activities, and any illegal purposes in an effort to protect patrons the library and Price City against materials other than the materials specified in Utah law. Implementation requirements: A notice of the availability of this Policy will be posted in a conspicuous place within the library for all patrons to observe. The Library Board has established procedures and guidelines to handle complaints about this policy, enforcement of this policy by library staff, and what a patron should do if they observe inappropriate behavior by another library patron. A copy of those policies, procedures and guidelines are attached and made a part hereof. A notice of the availability of these procedures for public review will be posted, as well as the policies made readily available to all staff members. These procedures and guidelines will be adhered to by library staff to enforce the requirements of Sections 9-7-215 and 9-7-216 UCA. ______________________ ______________________ Eric Snow Norma Rae Procarione Library Board Chairperson Library Director Footnote: The effective date of this policy is May, 2001 Reviewed: May 18, 2004 Reviewed: May 15, 2007 Reviewed May 18, 2010 Reviewed May 14, 2013 Reviewed April 27, 2016 Reviewed April 8, 2019 Procedure for staff when addressing users violating above guidelines The Librarian will maintain a professional atmosphere.
