LibraryDoor Service Description
|
 |
|
LibraryDoor
is a low-cost (VERY low-cost compared to some others) Internet appliance to be used instead of Websense,
I-Gear, Bess, etc. and instead of the hardware they run on. LibraryDoor combines Internet filtering,
proxy server, firewall, and several other functions to keep students out of sites like myspace and
keeps them from evading filtering by blocking use of outside proxy filters.
LibraryDoor filters using multiple methods including: URL and domain filtering,
content phrase filtering, PICS filtering, MIME filtering, file extension filtering, inside and outside proxy blocking. |
|
| The LibraryDoor appliance becomes the connection between your
network and the internet, filtering and monitoring all internet traffic. Plug it in and provide a power source,
and we take care of the rest. |
|
| If you decide to provide E-mail services, when used in conjunction with our
TrakMail E-mail service for
minors and our WebMailPRO for staff members, a properly configured
LibraryDoor service represents a complete solution to CIPA/E-rate compliance. |

"LibraryDoor is a SUPER device !
We receive the device on a Friday and had it up and running in two hours.
The "tech staff" listen to my concerns and gave me ideas that would help my school network improve and protect my students,
staff, and network computers. The device comes with all the correct wires and all the information to "setup" are on line in the device.
LibraryDoor can easily be setup for filtering from our schools or from home on a weekend ---- a real time saver!"

Because LibraryDoor has several
different types of filtering, we really haven't had any problems. They maintain a banned sites list as well as other
types of filtering based on weighted phrases and pics ratings. We can add our own blocked sites and we can add sites
to our allowed sites list...

"We have been happy so far with the LibraryDoor system. Your technical support
has been great. Whenever we had problems technical support was able to
determine what the problems consisted off and repaired them in a timely
manner. The program has showed a lot of the things our students are really
trying to access. I feel the program has been a success since we have had it."

| Content Filtering |
|
| • |
Weighted Words and Phrases
work by looking at all the text that appears on a web page,
then giving combinations of words and phrases described in
the Rules a positive or negative weight value.
- Phrases associated with good subjects will have negative values.
- Phrases associated with bad subjects will have positive values.
The values are added together to give the web page a total weight.
If the total weight exceeds the Weight Threshold set, then the web page is blocked.
There are four ways you can match words. Using the word can as an example:
- Exact Match - This will only match the word can by itself.
- Contains - This will match can, candy, scandal, or pecan.
- Begins With - This will match can or candy.
- Ends With - This will match can or pecan.
You can also make rules based on the existence of more than one word or phrase in a web page.
For example, you can give a web page one weight value if it just contains the word breast,
but give it a different weight value if it contains breast and chicken.
Making these kinds of rules helps eliminate false blocking that may occur for words
that have more than one meaning.
Categories currently included:
Bad foreign language words, Chat words, Drug Advocacy words, Gambling words, Game words,
Gore words, Illegal Drugs, Intolerance words, Legal Drugs words, Peer to Peer file sharing,

"First of all, I formerly worked in a school environment and
LibraryDoor was the best solution we found to fill our need of internet filtering. It was easy to set up and configure.
After it was installed, it was running peacefully in the background, making my job much easier, and our students could access the
internet in a much more secure environment. When I moved to my current position, an internet filter was also required for an on-site
school, hospital patient use and staff. LibraryDoor was my first thought, and it has again been the perfect solution for
our LAN environment. Your sales and customer service people have always been friendly and very helpful. And your tech support has
been stellar! It's a very rare occasion when and if the LibraryDoor box has any issues, but when that rare occasion has
happened, your tech support has resolved the issue in no time flat. I'm really impressed, and needed to let you know what a wonderful
job your people and your product are doing! Thank you for making my life (and job) a lot easier!"
