UA does not prohibit porn in libraries

A Tale Of Bare Boobies from the University of Alabama. A student said he tried to not pay attention as a man scrolled through pictures of naked women and people having sexual intercourse, but he finally complained to one of the library’s staff members. Phillips said he was shocked when he was told the library staff had no power to stop the man from looking at pornography. But that’s not entirely true, said Louis Pitschmann, dean of UA libraries.

“To say there is no policy is incorrect,” Pitschmann said.

In accordance with the principles of the American Library Association, UA library workers cannot monitor or control what people look at on the computers, Pitschmann said.
