WiFi Policy Statement Adopted by the Progressive Librarian's Guild in the USA

An historic moment! The Progressive Librarian's Guild adopted a policy statement on WiFi on June 16th, 2008. See http://libr.org/plg/wifiresolution.php . Most progressive change in libraries starts from PLG or SRRT (Social Responsibilities Roundtable of the American Library Association), the two most progressive groups in the library profession, until it finally reaches the citadel of power, the American Library Association, where policy is made that reaches all librarians. It's now one of the few policy statements on WiFi in the United States that we know of.

The BioInitiative report and the Benevento Resolution are referred to in this statement as the underlying justification for taking action, based on the Precautionary Principle.

If you know of other WiFI ban policies, even local ones, please let us know.
