Foundation President Herman reported that the Directors are "gearing up"
for the Elegant Affair on September 27th.
7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
None
8. NEW BUSINESS:
a. Internet Policy:
Trustee Berger indicated they the revised draft of the Internet Policy was
acceptable to him. Trustee Dunbar asked if the staff were more comfortable with
enforcement of the new policy. Librarian Escoffier indicated that the revised policy
was reviewed by staff and they indicated that it would be easier to use. Trustee
Berger requested that the word "netiquette" be replaced with a more appropriate
word.
Trustee Herman suggested that option of a terminal for adults only without
blocking. Trustee Cannon noted that this was not appropriate and would likely
violate the First Amendment. She further noted that blocking gives a false sense of
security and is not effective. She encouraged the Board to support the American
Library Association "Bill of Rights" adopted by the Board in 1954.
Trustee Dunbar suggested the Library distribute a flier to parents indicating -�
that use of the Internet by children, as well as the use of all other library materials, is
the responsibility of the parent or guardian.
M/S/C (Cannon/Taylor) to unanimously support the revised Internet Policy
and forward it to the City Attorney for review.
From The Floor:
Shirley Robertson, Burlingame's Representative to the System Advisory
Board, gave a report on the recent SAB meetings she attended. She announced
there will be a 1998 Advocacy Forum. She further reported that the Legislative
Breakfast was well attended.

City Librarian's Report
June 17, 1997
"Something New is Building..."
The exterior "skin" of the building is nearly complete. The tile roof of the original
building is being replaced, the upper level terrace waterproofing and finish slabs, sealed
joints, and louvers are being installed. The exterior scaffolding is coming down. The
pre-landscape site work will begin in mid-June. Inside the building most major
equipment has been installed, initial painting is proceeding and ceiling grids have been
installed. Most of the lighting should be complete in June, with the permanent power in
place by the end of June.
Procurement of moveable and system furniture, telephone equipment,
computers, the audio/visual system for the community room and the moving services
are being handled by the Construction Manager and the Library.
A data link conduit is being installed from the Library to City Hall. Also in the
works is the design and implementation of a pile support system to support the
northeast corner of the existing Reference Room to minimize further potential
settlement.
Furniture and Equipment
The Library Staff is continuing work on furniture package details and cross
checking of plans. Workflow in Circulation, Reference and Technical Services functions
are currently being studied. Plans for additional equipment such as copy machines,
book trucks, fax machines, computers are being specified and bid as appropriate.
The original library furniture which is being refinished has been assigned to three
separate groups. The first group has been removed from the Temporary Quarters
Library. This includes the more complicated retrofit processes to electrify tables and
provide for cable pathways, plus the refinishing of the original tables. Folding tables and
stacking chairs have replaced the original furnishings at the temporary library. Two
more shipments of furniture will be taken from storage later this summer.
Move Planning
Move planning has begun, with Esther Cummings focusing her efforts on
revising the move inventory and beginning to map the furniture and collections into the
new building. The challenge will be bringing new furniture, refinished furniture, books
from three locations, and the furniture and equipment from the Temporary Quarters

building together within the space of ten working days in September!
Library Dedication
Library Trustee Kristine Cannon and Former City Librarian Patti Bergsing have
agreed to chair the Dedication Day festivities. Our new staff artist is assisting with the
development of brochures and other printed materials for the event. Sue Reiterman is
coordinting the volunteer efforts. Additional staff will be added to the planning as we
move forward.
The keynote speaker for the event will be California State Librarian, Kevin Starr.
Mr. Starr is a noted author and California historian. We are indeed pleased to have him
with us that day.
Public Relations
I gave two programs on the library to the United Methodist Church and the
Kiwanis during the month reaching over 100 people. The programs were focused on
the new library building, as well as the many services which will be available. There is
great excitement in the community for the project.
Internet Policy Review
At your request, the draft Internet policy was forwarded to the City Attorney for
his advice. He has made two suggestions for improvement of the document, but
basically feels it is a viable policy.
Two privacy screens were evaluated by staff. The one chosen effectively
screens images from those sitting next to each other at adjacent workstations. These
screens have been used effectively in the Santa Clara County Libraries.
At the May 201h Council Meeting, Councilman Spinelli expressed his concern over
the inability to create a "history file" of sites visited on the Internet. Due to information
from PLAN, we understood this information was encrypted. Subsequently, we have
learned that it was not.
The City Manager directed the library to do a survey of two days of sites visited
on the public internet. The results of that survey were made available to the full Council
on computer disk and in paper copies. The survey resulted in over 1,000 pages of
information for one terminal for two days. The attached memo describes this process in
more detail.
At your meeting you may wish to review and discuss the draft Internet policy.
Children's Services
"Reading Safari" is the theme of the Children's Summer Reading Club. The club
runs from June 16 to July 27. This summer the children will go on a safari in search of
local animals. Each week after they report on a book they have read we will give them a
clue. The clue will lead to an animal (actually a poster of an animal) which has been
planted somewhere in Burlingame. When children find the animal they will receive a
prize. The final prize will be a pith helmet!
During May and June, Cathy Somerton did a total of 31 "Begin with Books"
programs, reaching over 1,000 children.
2
Youth Commemorative Book
Much of Cathy Somerton's time during the month was taken up with the final
preparation of the Youth Community Book. Jan Eustis and Joan Manini provided
additional support to this wonderful Foundation project. The Youth Book will contain art,
poetry and essays from some 100 Burlingame and Hillsborough children. Over 400
children participated in the creative process to enter the book. I am indeed proud of the
talented and creative children in our community.
Easton Branch
The behavior of children after school continues to be a problem.
The Our Lady of Angels School third grade came for a program on May 12`h. The
Bookgroupies (for middle school students) continued to meet during the month.
Lisa Dunseth compiled the Recommended Summer Reading Lists and sent them
out to the school librarians.
Reference Services
Sue Reiterman met with Susie Hodges, Director of Youth Services for the San
Mateo County Volunteer Center, and with her assistance, established contact with the
Community Service Coordinator for Burlingame High School.
The PLS Reference Committee is looking at several new services on the network
including one for reader's advisory and one to serve the Spanish speaking.
Personnel
Maryam Refahi was hired as our new graphic artist. Maryam comes to us with a
great deal of experience freelancing in the graphic arts field. She is updating our library
brochures, floor plans and other promotional materials for the new building. Maryam is
also working with the Dedication Committee in the preparation of printed materials. We
are very pleased to welcome Maryam to the staff!

Internet Use Policy
Burlingame Public Library provides public access to the Internet in keeping with its role in
providing equal access to information and resources to meet the educational, informational, and
recreational needs of members of a free and democratic society. Users of the Internet should be
aware that the Internet is a global entity. The library has no control over the information on the
Internet and cannot be held responsible for its contents. Some Internet sites contain information
that you will find to be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, controversial, or offensive. As in the
case with other resources in the library collection, any restriction of a child's access to the
Internet is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian.
Internet Rules for Use
Sign up in person for one 1/2 hour period within the next 90 minutes, for today only. You may be
able to use the Internet workstation for additional time after your initial sign up time, if it is
available. Reserved time slots are held for 10 minutes.
Access to the Internet is provided through the World Wide Web. The library cannot provide
electronic mail accounts (either sending or receiving).
Downloading to disk is not allowed.
Code of Conduct
Both the public and the staff want the library to be a pleasant place in which to work and to visit.
With the freedom and privilege to access computer networks comes the responsibility to use
them in a responsible manner. The library's workstations are in a public area. Because others
may involuntarily be exposed to what you view, the library asks that in consideration of others
you exercise judgment in what you view on these public workstations. If what you view causes
discomfort to others, staff may intervene. In addition the library has deemed the following to be
unacceptable uses of the Internet and all other electronic resources within the library. Violations
may result in disciplinary actions up to and including loss of library privileges.
• Using resources for illegal purposes.
• Moving, damaging or tampering with computer equipment in any manner.
• Attempting to modify or gain access to files, passwords, or data belonging to the
library or others.
• Seeking unauthorized access to computer operating systems and/or altering software
components of a computer, database, or network.
• Making unauthorized copies of copyrighted or licensed software or data.
• Violating the library usage policies or procedures.
• Harassing other users or staff.
• Violating another user's right to privacy.

FROM: Alfred Escoffier, City Librarian
RE: Internet Site Review
Internet Site Survey
Staff has completed the 2 day survey of Internet sites visited on Internet Station# 1 in the
public area of the library, as requested.
Councilman Spinelli set up the computer to record all of the Netscape History file for this
period at his visit on Monday, June 2. This history file represents 24 (open) hours of use
of the computer. Since we do not retain registration records for the workstation, I believe
individual patron privacy has been protected.
The contents of the history file occupies 1,033 pages of information. We have produced
this information in two formats: disk and paper. To produce the paper copy (and to save
paper), staff converted the file to MS Word and removed the hard page breaks and the
hard column breaks, and numbered the pages. This copy retains the complete contents, as
requested on 138 pages, instead of 1,003 pages.
The disk copy contains the entire 1,003 pages of text and coding, and is unadulterated,
and contains all coding
Access to the History File
It should be noted here that all PLS system computers on which Internet is accessible
were set up to automatically dump the day's "history" each day. The sheer volume of the
file, as illustrated by the 1,003 pages of text and coding would prohibit our keeping the
files longer than a day or two. In addition, some libraries which keep patron registration
records for the Internet would be violating privacy issues should the history be retained
and linked to registration records. (It is customary in library circulation systems that past
patron circulation activity is automatically deleted upon return of the item.)
The daily "delete" feature was one that I was not aware of until we began to discuss the
compilation of the history files for the survey. This is why the so called "cookie" file was
the best we could initially produce. In addition, we were told by PLAN system staff that
the history files were encoded. Subsequently, we have learned that they are not. This was
L 480 Primrose Road • Burlingame, CA 94010-4083 • (415) 342-1038 9 Fax (415) 342-1948
misinformation received from PLAN, and was in no way an effort to avoid production of
the history file.
Councilman Spinelli's adjustments to the autoexec.batch files allowed the compilation of
the data. We have subsequently adjusted the history file back to a daily dump to save
computer space.
Next Steps
At this point, you may wish to review the list of files, along with the City Attorney,
before referring the data on to the full Council. I believe we have cooperated fully with
the intent of Council's review. We would be happy to do a demonstration of the Internet
here at the library for Council, or any other interested parties, should that be their desire.
The President of the Board of Trustees has asked that this document be shared with the
Board and that this item be placed on the Board agenda as a discussion item for their June
17, 1997 meeting.

467.1 GUIDELINES ON THE ACCEPTABLE USE OF ELECTRONIC INFORIv1ATION RESOURCES
Information resources offer access to computers and people throughout the world. Students and
staff will have access to electronic mail and college and university libraries, information and
news from a variety of sources and research institutions, software of all types and much more.
While the emphasis here is on appropriate use and personal responsibility for both students and
teachers there is no intent to diminish the vital nature of electronic information services. The
concerns described here are real. While electronic information resources offer tremendous
GppUCttirtiiicS of rG'iiCaiivitai Vi uc, they a1sJ offer persons with illegal Cr u.^.etl!iral r--r gPc
avenues for reaching students, teachers and others, including parents. The following are
examples of inappropriate uses; it should be noted there are others.
• using the network for commercial advertising
• using copyrighted material in reports without permission
• using the network to lobby for votes
• using the network to access pornography
• using the network to send/receive messages that are racist
• using the network to send/receive inflammatory messages
• creating a computer virus and placing it on the network
• using the network to send/receive a message with someone else's name on it
• using the network to send/receive a message that is inconsistent with the school's code
of conduct
• using the network to send/receive messages that are sexist and contain obscenities
• using the network to obtain home phone numbers and making inappropriate use of them
• using the network to provide addresses or other personal information that others may use
inappropriately
• using the network for sending and receiving a large number of personal messages
• using the network to access unauthorized financial, credit or other information protected
under any government law or statute
467.2 VIOLATIONS
All users should be aware that the inappropriate use of electronic information resources is a
violation of school district policy and can be a violation of local, state and/or federal laws.
a. Violation will result in revocation of the privilege of use of the school's electronic
information resources.
b. Violations may lead to disciplinary action and/or prosecution.
