1. ALA AND GOOGLE REVISIT CIPA 10 YEARS LATER WITH JULY 30 HANGOUTS

The American Library Association (ALA) and Google, Inc., will host national library, education, technology, legal, and policy experts for a national symposium considering the impact of the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) on access to electronic information July 29 and 30. Librarians nationwide can join the virtual conversation with two Google Hangouts on July 30.

The first Hangout will start at 11:00 a.m. EDT and will focus on an "Introduction and Overview of CIPA 10 Years Later." The second one will share "Symposium Themes and Conclusions" starting at 12:15 p.m. EDT. Participants will join a wide range of experts as they share insights looking at legal, ethical, and political implications of how the CIPA requirements have been implemented in the past 10 years.

"Revisiting the Children's Internet Protection Act: 10 Years Later" is part of ALA's Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) and Office for Intellectual Freedom's (OIF) larger project on CIPA and access to information, made possible through support of Google, Inc. A white paper will be released this fall.

Here's how to join the conversation:

• Watch the live stream directly on YouTube on the ALA Washington Office channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/ALAWashingtonOffice/). ALA will tweet the URL using #CIPA_ALA13 at 10:45 a.m. EDT, right before the Hangout goes live.
• Tweet @oitp using the hash tag #CIPA_ALA13. Comments will be passed on to the speakers.

Participants are encouraged to actively share their experiences, reflections, and questions via tweets and online comment boards. ALA will use the back-channel conversation to inform its ongoing work on libraries and the impacts of filtering on access to information.

The Hangouts also will be archived on the ALA Washington Office YouTube channel after the event.
