Re: RAIN 05/11: "They should just archive their e-mail on the Web "

Last fall, a public schools superintendent in Fishers, Ind., abruptly
resigned after just 11 weeks on the job. It turned out he had used a school
computer to visit sexually explicit sites. Indiana newspapers reported the
transgression.
The Indianapolis Star followed with a February story surveying Internet
usage by school superintendents statewide. It found they used school
computers for such nonscholastic tasks as shopping for cars and seeking
jobs. The Page One piece named names, too."

During National Records and Information Management Week this year we rented
and showed an excellent video from Commonwealth Films
(http://www.commonwealthfilms.com) called "get.net.smart."  The video
covered the issue described in the above article - use and misuse of the
internet.  This was the first time in 5 years of renting movies that
Waterworks management immediately purchased the video.  It is now required
viewing for any employee requesting and receiving internet access.
