Hi Chris,



You are correct, but according to the article below (page 3):  If the
library connects to the network via a "private" university network, the
network maybe under CALEA.

        It looks to me like Libraries got and FCC ruling and are exempt.

Our Library wanted to lock it down. We do allow city residents to use the
College library. But those patrons can't have access to the paid for
bibliographic databases since they aren't a part of our FTE. So we created a
couple of Kiosk stations that can access the online card catalog, but are
blocked from all other web access. All other machines require the user to
log on.

Often, librarians have cows and kittens when the network people threaten
to close that loophole (for reasons that are totally justified in their
world view).  What methods and/or reasoning did sites use to win the
political
battle (or equally interesting, did the library win)?
