Re: [LM_NET] Filtering Staff E-mail

[Paula Yohe <paula_yohe@YAHOO.COM>]

No - we only filter for viruses, etc. but I have friends who work in the corporate 
world  and their email is filtered this way.
   
  They even have to justify the Internet searches they make while at work. --
   
  The employers feel that email should be work related and so should any 
searches/use of the Internet.

  One of my students made this comment in one of her assignments:

"We even have filters on our e-mail accounts and I can't even send 
things from home without having my home address unblocked to my 
account. We are also monitored by the number of incoming and outgoing 
e-mails we send/receive. We need to be able to explain everything we 
receive/send if we are asked."

This seems extreme to me. Are any of the rest of you filtered in your 
e-mail account at school? Do you have the number of e-mails monitored 
as well? This seems like a very oppressive situation.

Every librarian should have a full-time aide. It allows you to put the 
blame on someone.
