Comments on: is this the CIPA lawsuit we have been waiting for? http://www.librarian.net/stax/1903/is-this-the-cipa-lawsuit-we-have-been-waiting-for/ putting the rarin back in librarian since 1999 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:08:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Dan Riordan http://www.librarian.net/stax/1903/is-this-the-cipa-lawsuit-we-have-been-waiting-for/comment-page-1/#comment-61466 Dan Riordan Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:28:30 +0000 http://www.librarian.net/stax/1903#comment-61466 I think the FSU study misses another effect of CIPA on E-Rate funding: there are many libraries taking E-Rate funding for telecommunications, which does not require CIPA compliance, but not taking funding for Internet access or internal connections, which does require CIPA compliance. There are many other libraries which never applied for E-Rate funding, and the spectre of CIPA keeps them from starting. In other words, in addition to the 15% of libraries which no longer receive any funding, there are many more that are underfunded, and still more who have not ever applied and never will as long as CIPA requires them to filter.
