ILS Companies Starting to Bring On Filters

Of course, I've got to say I told you so because I did....

"The release of filter modules by the integrated library systems (ILS) is another likely development in the filter market..." [from Chapter 5: What's Next For Library Filtering?, Library Technology Reports, March-April 2004 by moi].

So Dynix has "chosen ContentWatch as filtering provider" per the listing in New Product News, Public Libraries March/April 2004.

Never heard of ContentWatch? Well go to my summary of this product at libraryfiltering.org to learn more about it.

If you decide you'd rather learn about it from their website, be advised that they refer you to two filter reviews that ranked their filter as #1. Turns out the "filter reviews" are nothing more than filter resellers who evidently also sell CyberSitter and NetNanny which, coincidently, also rank very high in their "reviews."
