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.
