Simpson, Carol Access to Information Computer Software Evaluation Computer Software Selection Consumer Protection Ethics Evaluation Criteria Information Technology Internet Library Role Merchandise Information Purchasing School Libraries Guides librarians in evaluating "filtering" software which schools may purchase for restricting access to potentially inappropriate Internet sites.
