Category 1 Internet Access Options

As we're coming down to the wire for Form 470 for E-rate FY 2018, there appears to be some confusion about what to select for Internet Access. I found this handy chart on E-rate Central:

A couple of the key takeaways from this is that if you're looking for complete Internet service - lines and data, you need to ask for Leased Lit Fiber and/or Internet Access and Transport Bundled. If you're willing to consider fiber and/or you'll be getting it sometime before or during the 2018 funding year, you need to put in both. In the narrative you can offer an explanation, for example, when the transition is expected to take place or any restrictions you might have.

Sample Internet Use Policies from ALA

It's a good idea to review and possibly revise your Internet Use Policy (and other library policies) every few years to make sure it reflects the views of your board and community. As Internet Use Policies are also a requirement of CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act) and must comply with this act in order to receive most E-rate funds, links to CIPA specific information on policies and filtering are included below.

ALA has information on Internet Use Policies and some samples from around the country on their website:
Libraries and the Internet Toolkit

There's a new document on CIPA compliance:
Changes To The E-rate Program And Complying With CIPA: A Brief FAQ

As well as some new guidelines on how to minimize the effect of filtering:
Guidelines to Minimize the Negative Effects of Internet Content Filters on Intellectual Freedom

Here is the link to information on CIPA and its requirements from USAC
