Libraries committed to equitable online access

The Australian Library and Information Association would like to work with the Federal Minister for Communications, Information Technology and the Arts and her Department on the implications for Australia’s public libraries and their users of the Protecting Families Online program, announced today.

The Australian Library and Information Association supports the provision of free internet filters to Australian families and the increased support for community education on safe internet use included in the Protecting Families Online package.

The Association’s Executive Director, Sue Hutley, said that the increased funding for NetAlert, the government’s internet education and advisory body is welcomed as it will allow NetAlert to expand its community education activities.
