Internet Access Policies

PLSB Internet Use Policy Toolkit

The Public Library Services Branch of the Ministry of Education has developed an Internet Use Policy Toolkit to aid in the development or revision of public Internet use policies.   You can access this document through the PLSB Service Center    http://servicecentre.bclibrary.ca/servicecentre/  .   Or a PDF copy is also available through this link:  Internet Use Policy Toolkit
 
Please note that no one policy is suitable for all libraries.   This PLSB guide is meant as a starting point only.   These guidelines provide information to public libraries and do not constitute legal advice.
