Colleges generally don't block porn, but it is probably against their rules. Get up and find a librarian. They will deal with it.



Federal law requires public libraries that receive any federal funding to censor the web. Most libraries that can afford to go without federal funds will not put the censoring software on them.

Because I don't want to see some creepy pervert beating off when I go to pick a book up at the library? If I wanted to see that I would log on to chat roulette...

Step 1: Get up.
Step 2: Walk to reference desk.
Step 3: Tell librarian/clerk about perv.
Step 4: Walk to different area to avoid perv.

It's part of a librarian's job to deal with random anti-social people.

It was fought tooth and nail, but the idea that a little kid will see some porn before is politically untenable.
