[Publib] Tap on the Shoulder

[Linda Cannon]

First, make sure that your policy forbids porn (and describes it and
whatever else isn't permitted) so that you have backup when someone says
"Where does it say I can't?"
 
Assuming that's done, I'd say "You may not be aware of this, but the
library doesn't permit viewing of that material."  Have a handout that
explains the rules (and consequences for violations) for the ones who
ask the above question. It's also good to have some signage or an
acceptable use policy displayed on the PCs.

Subject: [Publib] Tap on the Shoulder


We are looking for a phrase to use with our "tap on the shoulder" for
customer who are using our public access computers for porn.  I know ALA
recommends privacy screens but that is not an option in this community.
We need a non-confrontation phrase that gets our message across.
 
Thanks
