Two reports in the past few days of institutions restricting access to social networking sites…
Middle Georgia College blocks Facebook, MySpace (via the Kept-Up Academic Librarian)
Facebook Banned in Library (via Library Stuff)
Both the library and IT department on my campus are dead-set against policing the type of content that can be viewed on the network or via the machines in our Learning Commons. However, we’ve gotten several comments from students who are irritated at having to wait to perform academic work on library/LC computers while others use them for what they describe as non-academic purposes (Facebook, etc.).
