CORRESPONDENCE AND COMMUNICATIONS: All correspondence was mailed in the Trustee packets. Trustee Dunbar requested Librarian Escoffier to ask for a yearly statement of the Duncan Funds from the Peninsula Community Foundation for the purpose of comparing the administrative charges. Mr. Escoffier said he would check into it and perhaps ask a representative from the Foundation to be present at a future Board meeting. 6. REPORTS: a. City Librarian's Report- Escoffier: i There was no discussion. 480 P1AnrF�iQ BF& e,HK=M -4083 (415) 342-1038 Fax (415) 342-1948 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. 9 ADJOURNMENT: The meeting of May 20th, 1997 was adjourned at 5:15 pm. The next regular Board meeting will be held on June 17th, 1997 in the Conference Room at 130 Park Road. Respectfully submitted, Alfred H. Escoffier City Librarian Trustees Minutes-97May 6/7.1/97 URLINGAME 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 480 Primrose Road • Burlingame, CA 94010-4083 • (415) 342-1038 • Fax (415) 342-1948 1 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! Future Library Board Meetings Due to vacations, as well as the library move, I would like to propose the following schedule of library board meetings through September: July 15, 1997, 4:30 pm (Temporary Quarters) August 26, 1997, 4:30 pm (Temporary Quarters) September 23, 1997, 4:30 pm (480 Primrose Road) Upcoming Events: • Library Board Meeting, June 17, 4:30 pm • American Library Association Conference, San Francisco, June 26-July 3 • Independence Day, July 4, Closed • Library Board Meeting, July 15, 4:30 pm 3 ADDENDUM ti +� w DISCOVERED HIDDEN TREASURES! `} DON'T LET SLEEPING LIONS LIE (HERE!)

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. 06/11/97 IF BURLINGAME 1 Ge��C L���P June 5, 1997 TO: Dennis Argyres, City Manager 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.

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.
