Library Computer Use Policy

Violation of these guidelines may result in loss of computer access and further disciplinary action, including suspension and possible legal action. Users may be held responsible for any damages or expenses resulting from any use of Library computer resources in violation of this Library Computer Use Policy.

• The computers are for use by anyone at no charge. Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an ADULT AT THE COMPUTER. Written permission to utilize the computers without an adult can be obtained from the library.
• All users are expected to know and abide by LSSU's Information Technology Policy, copy of which is placed next to all library computers.
• Library work by LSSU students takes precedence over all other uses of the computers such as e-mail. If a user is engaged in non-academic activity, the individual may be asked to give up the use of the computer to another user.
• Users are not to engage in any game playing or CHAT (IRC). Also, users are not to engage in activities that might reasonably be considered offensive or abusive to others in the library (e. g. visiting a pornography web site).
• It is unlawful and users are expressly FORBIDDEN to copy library-owned commercial or copyrighted software. Users attempting to circumvent this legality will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
• Under no circumstances should a user attempt to bypass the desktop configuration as established.
• Only currently enrolled students, who have paid the information technology fee, will be provided free computer printed pages. Students must present a current ID to pick up free pages. All others will be charged 10 cents per page.

Other university policies and procedures may apply or take precedence in relation to the computers used in the library.
