It is probably the library isn't getting through to TiBB at the moment.

Try these links and see if the forum logo works.

You'll probably have to write them down and type them in though considering you can't view this page at the moment.

The implementation of Internet filtering in Scottish public libraries

How Internet filtering works

McMenemy and Burton identify two main approaches to Internet filtering used in public
libraries: site blocking and keyword blocking. Site blocking involves “check[ing] each internet
transaction against a list of banned sites. If the software recognizes a site on the banned list [of
known URLs] it will not allow a computer to load up the pages from the site”(McMenemy &
Burton, 2005, p.22). Keyword blocking “simply looks for offensive words in either the web
address or the contents of the requested pages” (McMenemy & Burton, 2005, p.23). Again if
offensive words are detected by the software then the user will be denied access to that
content.

Thanks James hopefully it will be back to normal next time I use their computers. Never had a problem before, so maybe a glitch.
