RULES FOR COMPUTER USE
You may not use Library computers to perform
illegal activities. Illegal use may result in loss of library
privileges and/or
legal action.
ACCESS:
All Internet resources accessible through the
Library are offered equally to all Library users. It is the right and
responsibility of parents to monitor their children as they explore
this resource.
Library staff cannot act as a substitute parent or be responsible for
unsupervised children on the Internet terminals.
SIGNING IN:
You MUST sign in, using either your first name
or initials and the time you are starting, on the sign-up sheet located
at the circulation desk before using our computers. By signing up for
computer time, you are stipulating your agreement to abide by our
policies. Failure to sign in may result in the loss of your
computer time.
TIME LIMITS:
Computer use is limited to one session of no more than 30 minutes per
day, unless there is no one waiting to use the computer. If no
one is waiting to use the computer, you may continue to use it for up
to an additional 30 minutes. If you have exceeded your original session
and someone else would like to use the computer, you will be given 5
minutes to finish up what you are doing.
You may sign up for another session of no
more than 30 minutes (for a total of two sessions per day), except
during times of high demand. The staff may, at its discretion, limit
computer use with respect to the number of sessions and the number of
persons using the computer.
Failure to abide by any of the regulations
governing computer use may result in the immediate suspension of your
computer privileges.
PRINTING:
Printing is allowed as long as it can be
accomplished within your time slot. For students working on school
assignments, the
first five sheets of paper are free. Additional sheets will be $.20
each ($.25 each for color copies). If you wish to provide your own
paper,
copies will be $.10 each to cover the cost of ink cartridges. Please
pay for
copies at the desk.
ASSISTANCE:
Library users are free to browse the Internet.
Staff will be glad to help you get started or to answer questions, but
may
not be able to offer in-depth training or assistance due to time
constraints. The Library offers training on Internet resources; ask at
the desk for
the next scheduled session.
CAUTION:
Your privacy is not guaranteed when using the
Internet. You must evaluate the source
of any information you find for accuracy.
