So I’m taking this course on information policy, and we’ve been assigned to write some pretty interesting position papers. For one paper, we had to take a position on whether we would filter GLBT Internet content in public libraries. For another, we had to take a position on implementing video surveillance at the University Library. Most recently we wrote about whether or not Amazon should have enforced its patent on 1-Click shopping. The papers are sort of an exercise in role-play, too — for each paper, we pretended that we had a specific position within the organization, and this influenced our positions. I just thought I’d share some of those with you here:
Filtering the Internet in Public Libraries
Video Surveillance in University Libraries
Amazon 1-Click Patent
